A lone rider circles the track - no crowd, no end, only the weight of return. In The Race Track (Death on a Pale Horse), Albert Pinkham Ryder renders death not as spectacle, but ritual. A scythe in hand, a snake at the margins, a landscape that never quite lets go. Send to someone who understands the long loop of fate.
