Horse Market: Five Horses at the Stake
by GÉRICAULT, Théodore, Watercolour over black pancil and red chalk, 230 x 300 mm
In spite of its title, the scene actually represents the horses waiting before the famous race of the Barberi that closes the Roman carnival, and which G�ricault witnessed during his stay in Italy from 1816 to 1819. The work is probably the source of two paintings on the same subject.
