Budd Doble Driving Goldsmith Maid at Belmont Driving Park

Amerikanische Malerei 1870–1877, 1876

The artwork shows a man driving a horse-drawn sulky at a racetrack. The man is seated on the sulky, holding the reins, wearing a cap, a dark jacket, and light-colored pants. The horse, a bay with a sleek coat, is in motion, its legs extended in a trot. The sulky has large, red wheels. In the background, a blue flag with writing flutters near a white fence, and the sky is overcast with clouds. The setting is a grassy racetrack with a few trees and distant buildings visible.
