About the Item

Giffard’s compositional style balances the energy of the race with careful landscape structure. The sky is open and bright, typical of East Anglian light; distant fields and trees are delineated in warm greens and muted ochres. Brushwork ranges from broader strokes in the landscape to firmer lines around figures, offering both movement and clarity. The palette tends toward naturalistic tones—greens of pasture, earthy browns of fences, flashes of silken colors—and captures the atmospheric quality of a breezy race day. This painting reflects Giffard’s ability to blend genre subject matter with regional landscape sensibility, lending a calm rhythm and compositional harmony to an otherwise dynamic scene.
