Horse and Rider — Antique Natural History Print

Edgar Degas drew this horse and rider around 1890, a subject connected to the steeplechase, a fashionable race run by amateur 'gentleman' riders rather than professional jockeys. True to Degas's lifelong fascination with movement, the horse is rendered with anatomical precision, its hind legs caught mid-stride as if he were studying a dancer. The top-hatted rider, by contrast, is left as a ghostly shadow, making clear it was the animal, not the man, that held the artist's attention.

The picture itself is nice and the execution is average. It is a fair version of Horse and Rider at a fair price.
I kept checking the tracking because I could not wait for it to get here. The colors in Horse and Rider are richer than any version I found online. One very happy customer here.
My daughter picked this out and she has better taste than I do. I have wanted a good version of Horse and Rider for a long time and this is very close.
It arrived two days after I ordered, which I did not expect… 😍
It has completely changed how the nursery feels. I have been hunting for a good version of Horse and Rider for two years.
