The Jockey Going to the Post
1899
Toulouse-Lautrec was absolutely obsessed with horse racing, often spending days at the track just to capture the nervous energy of the riders. Here, a jockey perched high on his mount looks stoic and ready, while a handler in a bowler hat holds the reins with a firm grip. The sketchy, energetic lines and muted earth tones perfectly capture that tense moment right before the race begins. It's a fascinating glimpse into Lautrec's sporting life, proving he wasn't just about the Moulin Rouge dancers.
