Created in 1929, this work is a testament to Talmage's skill in depicting movement and his keen eye for detail. The painting is renowned for its vivid portrayal of the race, with horses and jockeys rendered in mid-gallop, exuding a sense of speed and excitement that is palpable to the viewer.

Algernon Talmage (1871-1939) was a British artist known for his landscapes and equestrian scenes. His works often reflect his deep appreciation for the natural world and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with remarkable precision. "The Derby" is no exception, showcasing his talent in both composition and color. The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, with the horses and riders forming a sweeping arc that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension, enhancing the realism of the scene.

The painting not only highlights Talmage's technical prowess but also his ability to convey the excitement and energy of the event. The spectators in the background, though less detailed, contribute to the overall atmosphere, emphasizing the communal experience of the race. "The Derby" stands as a significant work within Talmage's oeuvre and within the broader context of British sporting art. It reflects the cultural importance of horse racing in Britain and the enduring appeal of capturing such moments of high drama and competition on canvas.
