Snap-the-Whip is a 1873 ink by Lagarde, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a lively scene of children playing outside. In the foreground, a group of boys are engaged in a game of snap-the-whip, with one boy running and the others holding hands, forming a human chain. The boys are dressed in casual, rustic clothing, and their facial expressions convey a sense of joy and excitement. In the background, a small wooden house and rolling hills are visible, suggesting a rural setting. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of carefree childhood and playful energy. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central action of the game.
