Jockey with Cap c. 1890s

Edgar Degas's bronze sculpture "Jockey with Cap" from the 1890s depicts a jockey mounted on a horse in mid-stride. Degas, known for his depictions of ballet dancers and horses, captures the dynamism of a racehorse. The jockey's posture and the horse's musculature convey a sense of speed and power. This work exemplifies Degas's signature use of simplified forms and his focus on capturing movement.
