Luxembourg Gardens

Amerikanische Malerei 1904–1911, 1906

This is a painting of a park filled with tall trees and people in colorful clothes. Some people are seated on chairs, while others are walking or standing on the tan ground. There are adults and children, and some of the people have pale skin while others have darker skin. In the center, a boy with light skin looks out at us, his hands in his pockets. He wears a black bowler hat, a black shirt with a white collar, and black shorts. In front of him, two young girls with lights skin play a game with paddles. Behind the boy, a woman in a blue dress sits on a bench with three children around her. More adults sit on chairs at the edges of the scene and watch the children playing. The trees and foliage provide a vibrant green backdrop, and a yellow building is visible though the branches. The brushstrokes in the painting are thick and visible, especially those in the trees.
