Jockeys 1900

Edgar Degas's "Jockeys" (1900) depicts a group of jockeys on horseback. The Impressionist style, characterized by loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing a fleeting moment, is evident in the painting. Degas's signature interest in movement and the portrayal of everyday life are also apparent in the artwork. The scene, a snapshot of the horses and their riders, hints at a race about to begin, leaving viewers with a sense of anticipation and dynamism. This painting exemplifies Degas's artistic vision, drawing viewers into the heart of the racecourse.
