Édouard Manet at the Races 1863 - 1873

Edgar Degas's "Édouard Manet at the Races" (1863 - 1873) is a charcoal drawing depicting the French artist Édouard Manet standing in profile at a racetrack. The figure of Manet is rendered with a sense of realism and captures his distinctive features, including his beard and top hat. The artwork is a study in form and light and is a testament to Degas's mastery of the drawing medium. The sketch is a rare glimpse into the relationship between the two prominent Impressionist artists and highlights the connection between their work.
