Our Watering Places - Horse Racing at Saratoga is a 1865 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a crowded, open-air viewing box packed with people watching a horse race. The crowd is dressed in late 1800s clothing—men in suits, women in long dresses and hats, some holding fans or parasols. A flag flutters in the background, and the scene outside looks like a track with riders and horses in the distance. The artist included small details like a man adjusting his glasses or a woman peering over the edge, making the scene feel lively. The text at the bottom names the place: Saratoga, a famous racing spot. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
