Sunday Fair at Les Invalides is a 1899 oil by Henri Evenepoel, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
The painting depicts a lively scene of a Sunday fair at Les Invalides. In the foreground, a crowd of people is gathered, while in the background, trees and buildings are visible. The sky above is filled with clouds. The artist's use of color and brushwork creates a sense of energy and movement in the scene. The crowd is depicted in various shades of brown and gray, while the trees and buildings are painted in greens and browns. The sky is a soft blue with white clouds.
