Preparing to Start

About this work

This picture shows a busy outdoor race scene. Horses and riders are lined up at the starting line. A crowd of people watches from behind a fence. In the background, tents and a hill with more spectators fill the view. The title says "Preparing to Start," so this is the moment just before the race begins. The artist used a mix of colors to make the scene lively. Next, check out how this was made using etching.
