The Races

Edouard Manet

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a horse race by Edouard Manet titled "The Races". A crowd of people watch from the right side behind a fence. The sketchy drawing has broad brush strokes. Two jockeys on horseback are on the left side on a path that curves slightly to the right. The crowd is densely packed and mostly dressed in dark clothing. The sky has large clouds. The style is impressionistic.
