Original artwork description:

"The Races" stands as an exquisite representation of Alexander Levich's artistry, where the rush of 19th-century horse races springs to life through his deft application of oil and lacquer on wood. This artwork, taking a page from Rosa Bonheur's animalière movement, captures the essence of realism with a flurry of activity and an array of emotive detail. Levich skilfully balances the chaos of the race with the calm of the landscape, creating a miniature that invites the viewer to appreciate the intricacy of the scene. The power of the horses, the focus of the jockeys, and the eager anticipation of the crowd all find their place within this vibrant canvas, each detail underscored by the artist's adept realism style.
