Artists in conversation
Raoul Dufy
French · b. 1877
As Jean Dufy's brother and close artistic influence, Raoul Dufy painted nearly identical subjects including horse racing, carriages, and equestrian scenes using the same fluid gouache and watercolor techniques with vibrant gestural linework on paper.
Constantin Guys
French · b. 1802
Guys specialized in depicting Parisian carriages, horsemen, and fashionable street life using loose watercolor and ink washes, sharing this work's figurative focus on transportation and equestrian subjects rendered with spontaneous fluid marks.
Alfred Munnings
British · b. 1878
Munnings was celebrated for his lively depictions of horses, riders, and carriages in motion, capturing equestrian subjects with an energetic and fluid painterly approach that closely parallels the subject matter and gestural quality of this piece.
