Notes

(Text from 'From Manet to Toulouse-Lautrec', BM 1978, cat.16) This impression belongs to the second state. There is a first state of which an impression was exhibited at Ingelheim in 1977; in this the drawn area extends a further five millimetres on the right hand side. The dating of this print is vexed. It is closely related in reverse to a gouache dated 1864 in the Fogg Art Museum, and to an oil at Chicago. Jean Harris, in an article devoted to this subject in the Art Bulletin of 1966, has argued that Manet painted a large racetrack scene (now lost) in 1864, of which the composition is preserved in the Fogg gouache. She dates the Chicago oil later (c.1865-9); then, since the lithograph is closer in composition to the gouache than to the oil, she dates it to 1865. The handling is however so different from that of Le Ballon of 1862 that the lithograph must be placed much later. It was only published in 1884.

This is one of Manet's most exciting prints. The furious scribblings of the crayon produce a wonderfully rich texture of blacks and greys. The composition is also startling with the low viewpoint and the impossibly curving right barrier.
