"The False Start" by Edgar Degas captures the energetic atmosphere of a horse race, focusing on the moment of anticipation before the event begins. In the foreground, two jockeys on horseback are seen in motion, their poised positions reflecting readiness and control, while one horse appears to be rearing slightly, suggesting the tension of the false start. The background reveals an ornate, shaded grandstand filled with spectators, some in colorful attire, watching the scene unfold.
