The Races (Les courses)

Édouard Manet, 1865

The image displays a busy scene from an elevated viewpoint. A wide avenue is filled with figures and carriages. In the background, there are trees and a spire-like structure. Brushstrokes are dynamic, capturing movement and energy. The color palette is monochromatic, focusing on shades of grey and black. Figures and horses are sketched with swirling lines, creating a sense of activity.
