Degas Racehorses In A Landscape: Introduction

Several riders cross a grassy slope beneath a broad ridge of pink, blue and dark green. Their coloured silks catch the eye, but no horse is shown in a dramatic sprint. Edgar Degas made Racehorses in a Landscape in 1894, signing and dating the pastel at the lower left. The Carmen Thyssen Collection records it as CTB.1981.11. The museum's reproduction shows the same sloping ground and coloured riders. ^{[1][2][3] [7]}

The work has also been called Course de chevaux dans un paysage and appears as MS57 in Michel Schulman's catalogue. It is a later racing picture than the oil-on-canvas scenes of spectators and carriages that Degas made around 1861. Here the horses and riders occupy the foreground and middle distance, while the landscape becomes a strong field of colour in its own right. ^[3][4]

Riders spread across the field

The group on the left curves away into the distance. Horses overlap, and their riders' caps and jackets make small spots of blue, orange, green and white. Two closer riders are seen from behind near the centre. Another horse and rider stand apart at the right. This spacing gives the picture a rhythm of gathering and separation without fixing a single instant of racing action. ^[2][3]

Most of the horses face away from us. Their hindquarters and slanting backs make the group feel as if it is moving into the landscape. The rider at the right turns slightly toward the others, creating a visual link across the open grass. We can see a mounted company; the pastel does not identify the riders, the course or a named race. The title should not be used to invent those details. ^[2]

The hill cuts diagonally behind the riders, rising toward the right. A darker band of trees or scrub forms a long horizontal zone above it, with a rose-coloured ridge and pale sky farther back. Those broad layers make the figures look small even though the nearest horses occupy much of the lower half. They also give the scene a different tempo from an image cropped tightly around a jockey. ^[2]

Pastel colour and surface

The official Spanish inventory describes the work as pastel on paper and measures it at 47.9 × 62.9 cm. An older National Gallery of Art checklist called the support tracing paper and rounded the size to about 48 × 64 cm. Schulman's catalogue similarly rounds it to 47 × 62 cm. The official collection inventory supplies the medium and dimensions used here. The more specific tracing-paper description belongs to an older checklist and is not confirmed by the current public inventory. ^[1][4][5]

Pastel leaves dry pigment on the paper surface. In the museum image, many marks remain visible: short strokes describe the hillside, denser blue and green marks build the middle band, and bright touches define the jockeys. The horses are more solidly modelled than some parts of the setting, yet they do not have sharply outlined edges throughout. The shifting texture lets rider, horse and ground connect without losing their individual shapes. ^[2]

The pale sky and pink ridge give the painting a warm upper band. Below, cooler greens and blues gather into a darker strip. The riders' silks repeat and sharpen those colours on a small scale. Degas uses contrast to make the figures legible, not a detailed finish on every face or garment. The picture can be read from a distance as a few large colour areas and close up as many separate pastel marks. ^[2]

A late return to the racecourse

Degas had been making horse-racing subjects since the 1860s. The racecourse allowed him to study animals in motion and people in distinctive poses, from waiting riders to spectators in carriages. This 1894 pastel returns to mounted horses without showing the grandstand, betting crowd or a clear finish line. It concentrates instead on the group against a landscape. ^[4][5]

The scene gives no reliable clue to an exact course. It is possible to read the separated horse at right as waiting or turning and the left group as moving on, but those are descriptions of visible poses rather than a documented sequence. The strength of the composition lies in how Degas makes the riders' colours travel across an uneven green field. ^[2]

A Fundación MAPFRE exhibition publication reproduced the same object as an example of Degas's use of pastel. Its caption identifies the 1894 picture, the Carmen Thyssen Collection and inventory CTB.1981.11. That independent exhibition record supports the object match and the collection identification. ^[6]

An ownership trail

Schulman's catalogue records the pastel in Degas's studio and then with Durand-Ruel in Paris by August 1894. It moved through Durand-Ruel's New York gallery to Horace O. Havemeyer in March 1895, remained with the Havemeyer family for decades and passed through the New York art market in 1981 before joining the Thyssen-Bornemisza collections. The catalogue's final location wording is less clear than the museum's current media entry and official inventory, and neither confirms that the pastel is on view now. ^[1][3][4]

The early Durand-Ruel record and the dated inscription both support 1894. The later collection history explains how an image made in France entered American and then Spanish-linked collections, but no ownership record by itself tells us where Degas set up the composition or which particular race meeting it represents. ^[3][4]

Looking again

Follow the rider on the far right toward the two larger riders at centre, then along the smaller cluster at left. The arrangement draws the eye across the sheet while the diagonal hill lifts it toward the pink ridge. The riders are part of the landscape's pattern as well as the subject of the picture. ^[2]

This exact work is CTB.1981.11 / MS57, a 1894 pastel. The collection number, medium and date distinguish it from other Degas racehorse scenes that use similarly broad English titles. ^[1][2][4]
