"The Derby Day" is a notable painting by the British artist William Powell Frith, completed in 1858. It is one of Frith's most famous works and is considered a masterpiece of Victorian genre painting, depicting the lively and diverse social panorama associated with the Epsom Derby. The painting is large in scale, measuring approximately 40 inches in height by 88 inches in length, and is renowned for its intricate detail and the variety of characters it portrays.

In "The Derby Day," Frith captures the essence of a popular public event, attended by people from all walks of Victorian society. The scene is bustling with activity and includes figures such as the aristocracy, gamblers, and street vendors, all intermingled in the excitement of the race day. The artist's keen observation of social interactions and his satirical eye for detail are evident in the way he portrays the different classes and their behaviors.

The painting's composition is complex, with multiple narratives unfolding simultaneously. It invites the viewer to explore each group of characters and their individual stories. The artwork's popularity led to it being engraved by Auguste Blanchard, which allowed for its reproduction and wider dissemination to the public. "The Derby Day" is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance as a window into the customs and society of mid-19th century Britain.

Today, "The Derby Day" is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its rich portrayal of Victorian life and its technical accomplishment as a work of art.
