Le jockey
Not on view
The Jockey, with its energetic horse race moving diagonally across the picture plane, is one of Toulouse-Lautrec's last large color lithographs. It owes as much to Degas's earlier paintings of horses and jockeys (also greatly influenced by Japanese artistic principles) as it does to Toulouse-Lautrec's own awareness of similar subjects in the prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige, particularly the foreshortened view of a horse seen from behind in one of the most unusual of the prints in Hiroshige's One Hundred Views of Famous Places in Edo series.
