La Promenade is a 1897 ink by Henri Edmond Cross, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two people walking through a park. The trees are dark green with light blue dots, and the sky is pale blue with a few clouds. The ground has patches of yellow and orange, maybe grass or flowers, and the figures are dressed in light, flowing clothes. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like scribbles. This style was used to capture light and movement instead of details. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
