Studio Interior with The Steeplechase is a 1890 oil by Edgar Degas, a Impressionism work, held at Israel Museum.
This painting shows a jockey in an orange shirt and white pants lying on the ground. In the background, two horses are running, one brown and one dark brown. A jockey in a red hat and blue shirt is riding the brown horse. The scene is set in a large room with a brown floor and a white wall in the background. The painting's use of warm colors and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of energy and movement. The jockey on the ground appears to have fallen off his horse, adding a sense of drama to the scene. The painting's style and technique are reminiscent of Edgar Degas, who was known for his Impressionist works.
Born Hilaire-Germain-Edgar De Gas on 19 July 1834 in Paris, Edgar Degas came from an affluent banking family with aristocratic roots and spent his childhood among the cultivated circles of the French capital.
