Family Promenade in the Park is a 1766 ink by Pierre-Antoine Baudouin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a family on a stroll in a park. The family is dressed in 18th-century clothing, with the adults wearing formal attire and the children in simpler outfits. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a cloudy sky. A closer look reveals the family's joyful interaction, with the children playing and the adults smiling. The artist's use of gouache and ink adds a sense of delicacy and detail to the scene. The painting's focus on everyday life and the beauty of nature makes it a great example of Romanticism.
