The Jockey (Le jockey) is a 1899 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a jockey riding a galloping horse in a race. The rider is bent low over the horse’s neck, gripping the reins tightly. The background is blurry, with a few other riders and a fence, but the focus is on the speed and movement of the horse and rider. The artist used quick, loose lines to show motion, almost like the scene was drawn in one fast stroke. This style makes the horse look like it’s really running. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse-Lautrec (French: ), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator.
