Running is a 1804 ink by John Bluck, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a busy scene of a horse race with lots of people watching. Riders on horseback are in the middle, some leaning forward as if racing hard. Below, a crowd sits on the grass, eating and talking, while others stand around. In the background, more people watch from a hill, and there’s a small building with a few figures inside. The artist used soft colors and careful lines to show movement and excitement. The title *Running* fits the action perfectly—it’s all about the energy of the race.
