ArtistRacing at Ascot, as seen from the Royal Enclosure. Very fashionable upper class ladies and gentlemen of the Edwardian era are viewing the racing, where several race horses with their jockeys are passing by on the race course. One horse and rider is in the lead, others are quite closely packed.

An Art Nouveau-style poster advertising Ascot, featuring a detailed illustration of a horse race in progress. The top of the image features the word "Ascot" in elaborate, ornate gold and black lettering, framed by swirling floral and leaf motifs in gold, green, and blue.
The main scene depicts a horse racing track under a partly cloudy sky. Several jockeys in colourful silks (yellow, red, blue, green, pink, and white) are riding their horses at full gallop along a green grass track, kicking up dirt. A white fence separates the track from the spectator area. In the background, grandstands are filled with a large crowd of people, and further back, there are buildings, trees, and flags.
In the foreground, a group of elegantly dressed spectators are watching the race from what appears to be a viewing box or stand. Their faces and attire are highly detailed and characteristic of the Edwardian era. A woman in the centre foreground, wearing a dark, intricately patterned dress and a large, elaborate hat adorned with red roses, is looking through a pair of binoculars. To her right, a man in a black top hat and suit, with a red boutonnière, is also looking towards the race.
