In the Park is a 1883 ink by Henri Edmond Cross, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows people in a park, with a woman in the foreground and a man in the background. The scene is depicted in a pointillist style, with small dots of color used to create the image. The colors are muted, with shades of blue, green, and yellow dominating the palette. The woman in the foreground is wearing a long dress and a hat, while the man in the background is dressed in a suit and top hat. The park setting is suggested by the presence of trees and a grassy lawn. The overall effect is one of serenity and calmness. The painting's use of pointillism and muted colors creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the tranquil scene.
