This painting shows a big, leafy tree in the center with people walking and standing around it. Some folks are dressed in old-fashioned clothes, and a few are near horses or carriages. In the background, there’s a small building and more trees under a soft sky. The artist painted this scene in 1774, showing a fair near a famous oak tree. The colors are gentle, with greens and blues blending together. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
