Study of a Jockey (M. de Broutelles)

Edgar Degas

National Gallery of Art

The image is a charcoal drawing of two profiles of a man from the shoulders up. The man is shown leaning forward slightly, with his head angled downwards. He has a beard, mustache, downward-sloping nose, and hair covered by a cap. He wears a simple shirt or jacket. The background is plain, emphasizing the man's sketches on light-colored paper.
