Two Studies of a Jockey

Edgar Degas, circa 1884

The image shows a drawing of two men at approximately half-body length, seated side by side and facing away from each other. The man on the left is leaning forward, with his head and shoulders turned towards his left. He has a beard, a cap, a long-sleeved shirt with rolled-up sleeves, light-colored pants, and shoes. The man on the right is sitting upright, also with a cap and a beard, and dressed in a similar style. They appear to be holding onto an object between them. The background is a simple, sketch-like surface with minimal details.
