Paarden worden opgezadeld voor de race 1866

John Harris's "Paarden worden opgezadeld voor de race" depicts a scene of horse racing preparations in 1866. The artwork, part of a series called "Turkey's National Sports," showcases the excitement of a horse race in Turkey. The print captures the energy of the event, with jockeys preparing their mounts, and onlookers gathered around. The detailed illustration, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 18th-century British art that explores sporting activities and the human interaction with animals.
