Edgar Degas At the Races in the Country Art Print
Brandywine General Store
$10.99
Archival art print of Edgar Degas’s At the Races in the Country, an oil on canvas completed in 1869. More family portrait than sporting scene, the painting centers on a horse-drawn carriage carrying Paul Valpinçon — Degas’s childhood friend — alongside his wife, a wet nurse, and their infant son Henri nestled in her lap. A small dog perches on the carriage box, gazing down at the baby. The women and child are shaded by an umbrella; the driver wears a stovepipe hat. In the distance, two horses race before a scattering of spectators — present in the title, but marginal in the composition. Degas exhibited the work at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874. Available from Brandywine General Store.
