Jockey with Cap

Edgar Degas

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a horse and rider engaged in a fast-paced gallop. The sculpture appears to be made of a bronze-like material, giving it a reddish-brown color. The horse's legs are stretched forward and backward, while the rider leans forward. The sculpture captures motion, with detailed texture on the horse and rider's clothing.
