Edgar Degas's "Jockeys" from 1895 depicts a scene of horse racing. The painting, likely inspired by Degas's fascination with movement and the fleeting moments captured in equestrian sports, showcases his signature style. The loose brushstrokes and fragmented forms give the scene a sense of dynamism, while the muted colors and hazy atmosphere capture the atmosphere of the racetrack. Degas's interest in the subject is evident in the composition, which focuses on the jockeys and their horses, creating a feeling of immediacy and suspense. The artwork is a prime example of Degas's masterful ability to capture the essence of motion.
