拍品專文

Hilary Pyle (loc. cit.) comments on this work: ''Here She Comes' was described in the Studio (op. cit.) in 1921 as one of the outstanding works in the exhibition. 'It stood nearly beyond vision, being skied ...'; but this did not detract from the reviewer's opinion of its excellence. It is a diagonal view of one sulky drawn by a pale grey pony chasing another round the corner of the racing-track. There are figures of spectators and stall vendors in the foreground. The strong shadows and bright colours anticipate paintings of five years later, when Yeats had a constant interest in the effects of shadow; and there is a clever use of space, divided into still and active areas, reminiscent of early watercolours such as A Runaway (see Pyle, Watercolours, 36)'.

This work has the alternative titles of 'Now She's Coming', or 'Trotting Match'.
