## Image Caption

An 1869 oil on canvas painting, *A Carriage at the Races*, by [Edgar Degas](https://www.worldhistory.org/Edgar_Degas/) (1834-1917), the French impressionist painter. The scene is typical of Degas' style where the subject is markedly off-centre and with parts even out of the frame. The man in the top hat sat looking down (not coincidentally) on the wetnurse is the artist's childhood friend [Paul](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Paul/) Valpinçon.
