Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of an outdoor event with figures observing a horse race. The scene depicts a collection of individuals, seated and standing, watching a horse race. Several figures are leaning forward to get a better view of the action. In the background, galloping horses and a distant crowd add a sense of movement to the scene. The drawing is rendered in a monochromatic palette, with detailed lines suggesting clothing and expressions.
