Courses de Chantilly is a 1841 by Clémente Pruche, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two men standing under a tree at a horse-racing track. One holds a tall board listing names—probably racehorses or riders—while the other leans in, looking curious. In the background, a crowd watches a race, with riders on horseback and a few people sitting on the grass. The board’s names suggest this is a real event, not just a random scene. The artist focused on everyday life, but with a sharp eye for detail. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
