La Promenade

Französische Grafik 1887–1891, 1888 (dated 1890)

The image shows three individuals. Two of them are depicted from the midsection upwards. The person on the far left is wearing a dark coat and a black hat, with most of the hair covered. Beside this person is another character wearing a dark hat that casts a shadow over the eyes, along with a white garment under a dark cloak-like outerwear. To the right, a third person’s upper body is shown, facing towards the other two. This person has orange or blond hair, styled close to the head and is wearing a red hat and a cloak or coat in a purple hue. The background features tall trees and a pale green landscape, suggesting an outdoor setting like a park or forest. Two shadowy figures are in the distance amongst the trees, giving depth to the scene. The edges of the image are uneven, framing the figures within a softly colored and sketched surrounding.
