騎師
1899
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was absolutely obsessed with horse racing, often skipping his usual haunts in Montmartre to spend days sketching at the track. Here, he puts us right in the saddle behind a galloping horse, focusing on the powerful, muscular hindquarters rather than the rider's face. The sketchy, energetic lines and muted colors of the grass and sky capture the frantic speed of the race. It’s a dynamic snapshot that proves sometimes the most exciting view is from the back of the pack, feeling the thunder of hooves beneath you!
