Sunday at the Bois de Boulogne is a 1900 oil by Henri Evenepoel, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
This painting shows a group of people in a park on a Sunday. They are dressed in late 19th-century clothing, with women in long dresses and hats, and men in suits and top hats. The scene is set in a wooded area with trees and grass in the background. The painting's colors are muted, with shades of brown, green, and blue dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. The figures in the painting are arranged in a loose, informal composition, as if they are strolling through the park. The painting's style is reminiscent of the Impressionist movement, with its emphasis on capturing the fleeting effects of light and color.
