Unknown painter, well known driver: Innes Ireland, (22) Lotus 18. Painting Massenet, the long, left-hand corner that skirts the Monaco opera house. Monaco Grand Prix 1960.

During the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, an unknown artist sets up his easel to paint the action from a high vantage point. Below him, beyond a stone balustrade, driver Innes Ireland negotiates the Massenet corner in his No. 22 Lotus 18, the car rendered as a motion blur. While the painter in his plaid shirt dabs at his canvas, spectators gather on a balcony above the Hermès boutique, all focused on the race unfolding on the street below.
