"Gabriel Driving a Mors Car in the Paris to Madrid Race of 1903" is a dynamic and historically significant lithograph by the French artist Ernest Montaut (1879–1909), who was renowned for his works depicting early automotive and aviation events. The lithograph captures a moment from the infamous Paris-Madrid race of 1903, a motorsport event that was part of the Gordon Bennett Cup, and illustrates the French driver Fernand Gabriel piloting a Mors automobile.

Ernest Montaut's work is characterized by its sense of speed and movement, employing a style that prefigures the futurist attempts to depict motion on canvas. In this particular piece, Montaut's use of fluid lines and elongated forms conveys the velocity and energy of the early automobiles, which were marvels of technology at the time. The Paris-Madrid race itself was a significant event in the history of motorsport, known both for its ambition in covering a distance of approximately 1,300 kilometers (807 miles) and for the tragic accidents that led to its cancellation mid-race, marking a turning point in the public perception of automobile racing.

Gabriel, driving a Mors Z, was one of the competitors in the race and is famously known for having led the race from Versailles to Bordeaux before the event was halted due to the high number of fatalities and injuries. Montaut's lithograph not only celebrates Gabriel's prowess and the technological advancements of the era but also serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers associated with early motor racing.

The artwork is a testament to Montaut's skill in capturing the essence of speed and the excitement surrounding the advent of motorized transport, making it an important historical document for both art and automotive enthusiasts. As with many of Montaut's works, "Gabriel Driving a Mors Car in the Paris to Madrid Race of 1903" is highly collectible and continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its documentation of a pivotal moment in the development of motor racing.
