About this work

This painting shows a group of people sitting at tables on a shaded terrace. The tables are covered with white tablecloths and there are chairs around them. Some people are sitting, and others are standing. They are all dressed in formal clothing. The background is a river with a few boats on it. The sky is bright and sunny. The painting is done in a style that makes the shadows and highlights very clear. It's like you can see the light shining through the trees onto the people. If you like this painting, you might also like to look at the work of artist Max Liebermann.
