This 1761 painting shows a sunny outdoor scene with people in bright clothes. The figures lounge on grass while a few stand near a simple building. Robed men and women wear loose whites and blues, like they’re on vacation. Adam hired Brunias to paint these for his breakfast room at Kedleston Hall. The colors pop—pinks, greens, and whites—against dark shadows. Look up this artist next: Agostino Brunias
