Equestrian Sporting Scenes – Deauville Polo and Longchamp Horse Race by Eugène Pechaubès

Description
This pair of equestrian sporting prints after Eugène Pechaubès depicts two classic scenes from French horse sport: a polo match at Deauville and a horse race at Longchamp. Executed as etchings with gouache highlights, the works show mounted riders in motion, with refined linework describing the horses and figures and subtle color accents applied to the jockey silks and landscape. Each print is pencil signed and reflects Pechaubès’ established reputation for equestrian subjects connected to French polo and racing culture. The compositions emphasize the speed, balance, and athletic movement characteristic of early twentieth-century sporting illustration.
