About this work

A white horse rears up in the center of a crowded arena while grooms in red caps and dark jackets struggle to control it and a bay horse beside it. Spectators fill the galleries and balconies above, and a city building appears at the right edge. This painting by Horace Vernet, dated 1820, depicts the departure of the free horse race.
