"Jockeys (trois études)" is a notable work by the French artist Edgar Degas, who is widely regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, although he preferred to be called a realist. Created circa 1885-1888, this piece is a testament to Degas's fascination with the world of horse racing, a subject that occupied a significant portion of his artistic output. The artwork is a study that features three jockeys, each depicted with a sense of movement and agility that is characteristic of Degas's approach to capturing scenes of modern life.

The medium of "Jockeys (trois études)" is pastel over monotype on paper, a technique that Degas frequently employed to achieve vibrant colors and dynamic textures. The monotype process involves drawing or painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface and then pressing the image onto paper, creating a unique print. Degas would often enhance these prints with pastels, adding depth and detail to the composition.

In this work, Degas's interest in the human figure and his study of motion are evident. The jockeys are rendered with swift, confident strokes, emphasizing the speed and energy of the racehorses. The artist's use of color and light reflects the influence of Impressionist principles, yet Degas's focus on line and form also demonstrates his classical training and his admiration for the Old Masters.

"Jockeys (trois études)" is part of a larger body of work by Degas that includes paintings, sketches, and sculptures, all exploring the theme of horse racing. These works not only illustrate Degas's innovative use of various media but also provide insight into the social and cultural aspects of 19th-century Parisian life. The racetrack was a place where individuals from different classes converged, and Degas was particularly interested in the behind-the-scenes aspects of the races, including the jockeys and their mounts, as well as the spectators.

The artwork is held in high esteem for its contribution to the understanding of Degas's artistic process and is considered an important piece within the context of his broader equestrian oeuvre. "Jockeys (trois études)" continues to be studied and admired for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of a quintessential Parisian pastime.
