The Horse Race
by GÉRICAULT, Théodore, Oil on paper attached to canvas, 44 x 59 cm
Alongside his naturalistic subject matter, G�ricault was particularly drawn to two other genres: the horse and the nude. The subject of horses is related to the trip to Italy which he made between 1816 and 1817. There he made numerous drawings and sketches, which he would later use as the basis for larger paintings.
