Product description
Long before the invention of high-speed cameras, Edgar Degas used his keen observational skills to study the mechanical nuances of a horse’s gait. This print captures that fascination, presenting five riders in a sprawling green meadow. The composition is famously unconventional, cropping some figures while focusing on the subtle tension in the animals’ muscles and the colorful silks of the jockeys.
About Edgar Degas
Edgar Degas worked in pastel, oil and sculpture, and often used unusual, cropped viewpoints inspired by photography. His soft pastel colour suits bedrooms, dressing areas and calm living spaces. Impressionism remains one of the easiest styles to live with, suiting almost any room. The original image dates from 1886. Edgar Degas (1834–1917) exhibited with the Impressionists but preferred to call himself a realist.
Styling this Edgar Degas print
With its green palette and vibrant atmosphere, this Edgar Degas print brings instant personality to a wall. In a bedroom, hang “Jockeys” above the bed: 20×30″ or 24×36″ for impact, 12×18″ for a smaller wall. The green palette of “Jockeys” sits beautifully with houseplants, terracotta and cream textiles; finish it with a black or antique-gold frame.
