Fallen Jockey (study for "Scene from the Steeplechase: The Fallen Jockey")

Edgar Degas, c. 1866

The image shows a drawing of a person from the knees up, lying on their back with their head tilted to the side and arms resting at their sides. The person's facial features are soft, with closed eyes and a relaxed mouth, and their medium length, slightly wavy hair is visible. They are wearing a buttoned shirt with a high collar in earthy tones with hints of red and shading, depicted with a focus on capturing the folds and textures. The background is a light, solid color, emphasizing the figure's form and posture without any additional elements.
