About the piece

Painted in 1866, this work by Édouard Manet demonstrates his transition into Impressionism with its bold, visible brushstrokes and modern subject matter. The composition focuses on two stylish women at the races, using a striking green parasol and a yellow carriage wheel to create dynamic focal points against a moody, atmospheric backdrop.
