This painting shows Paris in 1910, with the Luxembourg Gardens in the background. The artist, Ernest Haskell, used strong lines and flat colors to capture the scene. The lamp posts and sidewalks feel solid and real. Haskell often traveled to Europe and painted scenes like this. He worked as an illustrator too, so his lines stay sharp and clear.
