At the Grand Prix de Paris

Childe Hassam, 1887

The artwork "Au Grand Prix de Paris" depicts an outdoor scene. In the foreground, three figures are shown from head to toe. Two women are standing, facing each other, dressed in long white dresses typical of the late 19th century. They both wear hats adorned with flowers. One of the women holds a closed parasol. A man in a formal black suit with a top hat stands next to them, slightly turned away. The background features a grassy field with a large, blurred crowd. The sky is a light, muted blue.
