Return from the races is a 1875 oil by Giuseppe De Nittis, a Impressionism work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting shows a lively outdoor scene with people and horses. On the left, a crowd of well-dressed people sit under trees, watching something in the distance. On the right, a horse-drawn carriage speeds by, with the horses' legs in motion. In the background, there are more people and horses, as well as a cityscape in the distance. The overall mood is one of excitement and energy. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this dynamic scene, you might want to look up Giuseppe De Nittis.
