La Promenade is a 1888 ink by Émile Bernard, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this painting, we see three women dressed in long coats and hats, walking together in a park or garden. The woman on the left is wearing a dark coat and hat, while the woman in the middle is wearing a lighter-colored coat and hat. The woman on the right is wearing a purple coat and a red hat. The background of the painting is a light green color, with some trees and bushes visible behind the women. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of calmness and serenity, with the women seemingly enjoying their walk together. This painting is an example of Impressionism, a style of painting that emphasizes capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life.
Émile Henri Bernard (French pronunciation: ; 28 April 1868 – 16 April 1941) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and writer, who had artistic friendships with Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Eugène Boch, and at a later time, Paul Cézanne.
