The finish of the race. A jockey with a blue jacket passes the white flag on the post facing to the right, in the center of the painting. He is accompanied by a small dog. There are crowds of people in the middle of the picture plane lined up behind a rope. A group of men waving their hats are in the left front. In the background is country meadows and trees, and six more riders are shown approaching the finish.
