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.

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.
