''On the Racecourse'' (also known as ''Jockeys on Horseback before Distant Hills'') is an 1882 painting by French artist Edgar Degas, who is renowned for his works on ballet dancers, laundresses, and horse races. This painting is one of the many in which Degas explored the theme of horse racing, a subject that fascinated him throughout his career. The artwork is a fine example of Degas's mature style, where he combines his interest in the dynamic movement of horses with his innovative compositional techniques.

The painting depicts jockeys on horseback, presumably warming up or parading before a race. Unlike many of Degas's other racecourse paintings that focus on the moments of intense competition or the immediate aftermath of a race, ''On the Racecourse'' presents a more tranquil scene, set against a landscape with distant hills. The composition is notable for its asymmetry and the use of space, which creates a sense of depth and movement. Degas's use of color and light in this work is subtle yet effective, capturing the nuances of the outdoor setting and the equine subjects.

Degas was part of the Impressionist movement, but his approach was often more realistic and less concerned with the play of light than some of his contemporaries. His interest in photography and Japanese prints is evident in the unusual angles and framing of his subjects, as seen in ''On the Racecourse''. The painting is a testament to Degas's skill in rendering the form and movement of horses, a skill honed through careful observation and repeated practice.

''On the Racecourse'' is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world. The painting continues to be studied for its contribution to the development of modern art and for its unique place within Degas's oeuvre of racecourse scenes.
