Product description
In this 1869 composition, the actual horse race is pushed to the distant background to make room for a private family portrait in the foreground. The degas races countryside art print captures a family seated in a carriage, their infant shielded by a pale parasol while a small black dog looks on.
About Edgar Degas
Degas is best known for ballet dancers, painted rehearsing and resting as often as performing. He worked in pastel, oil and sculpture, and often used unusual, cropped viewpoints inspired by photography. Impressionist painters often used pure, unmixed colours placed side by side to create vibrancy. His soft pastel colour suits bedrooms, dressing areas and calm living spaces.
Styling this Edgar Degas print
The green colour scheme gives this Edgar Degas print a clear, confident presence. As a landscape piece, “At the Races in the Countryside” fills the space above the bed at 24×36″, while 12×18″ suits a smaller wall, and it is a natural fit for a bedroom. Finish “At the Races in the Countryside” with a simple black or oak frame: its green palette sits beautifully with houseplants, terracotta and cream textiles.
