The Jockeys’ Dressing Room at Ascot Oil on canvas, 63.5 x 81.3 cm, by Sir John Lavery, 1923 Tate, UK |
||||||||||
|
A rare, candid glimpse of a
group of jockeys gathered indoors before the races, adjusting their
attire and waiting together. Lavery elegant portrayal of their
world, drawing attention to the contrast between the bright silks
and the plain interior, highlighting the human side of a sport
usually associated with public spectacle and ceremony. |
