The atmosphere is electric as young boys cheer on their furry companions while holding tightly onto their reins. The track stretches out before them, winding through picturesque Corsica's scenic landscapes. The artist's attention to detail brings the image to life; every child's face reflects determination and joy in equal measure. As they guide their mice towards victory, one can almost hear the thunderous applause from the spectators lining the course.
