Painted in an impressionistic style, this tableau depicts an equestrian event in progress; it could be a parade of jockeys who are in red jackets and carry flags. They have been painted with a sense of animation indicating swift movement in the centre of the field. The event involves important dignitaries as Ara paints some figures in bright colours, thus signifying a hierarchy, while the rest of the crowd, which also looks on, fades into a sea of white. A band can be spotted on the right, playing music from an enclosure.
