Edouard Drouot studies in Paris as one of Emile Thomas and Mathurin Moreau’s students. His work is not restricted to sculpture since he also works as a genre painter. He participates in various editions of The French Artists Salon. His sculptural quality is acknowledged with an Honourable Mention by the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1900.Mythological and allegoric figures, or exotic topics in line with the French taste, form part of his wide thematic repertoire. Tension and balance are the most remarkable aspects of this piece. Four runners are captured while making the final effort to reach the finishing line.Drouot starts from Alfred Boucher’s Au But, presented in the Salon in 1886 to capture this final second, that photographic instant. Drouot’s piece is characterized by the vigorous and intense representation as a result of a well-thought work, and meticulous and refined finish that brought him the recognition of the public.
