Doncaster Race for the Great St. Legder Stakes is a 1839 ink by James Pollard, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a busy horse race with riders in colorful outfits galloping on a track. A big crowd watches from behind fences, and a grand, two-story building stands in the background. The sky is painted with soft clouds, and the whole scene looks lively and full of movement. The title at the bottom reads *Doncaster Race for the Great St. Legder Stakes*, hinting this is a famous race. The artist used a mix of ink and hand-painted colors to make it look vivid. Next, look up hand-colored aquatint to see how this technique works.
