The Jockey

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of two jockeys riding horses. The drawing is titled 'The Jockey' by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The lead jockey has dark hair and wears a white shirt and white pants. He rides a dark-colored horse that is mid-gallop with its front right leg lifted off the ground and its back left leg extended behind it. A second jockey and horse are in the background, slightly to the left and behind the lead pair. The jockey is leaning over the neck of the horse, and both appear to be on a racetrack. The background shows a cloudy sky, distant hills, and several flagpoles. The artwork is signed in the bottom-right corner.
