Nogués’ first important print on an equestrian theme. The scene is full of movement and features somewhat grotesque figures. The rhythm of the work takes advantage of the contrast between the large areas of white and the velvety blacks of the figures and the horses. One of Nogués’ key works. We are including a print from the Palau Antiguitats gallery signed in pencil and dated 1934 (December 2022).
