This painting shows a small bridge in a Paris park. Two women stand on it. A third walks away. Trees frame the scene. The park is the Bois de Boulogne. Bonnard made this as a color lithograph, not a painting. It’s part of a set showing ordinary moments in city life. He avoided famous landmarks. Instead he caught fleeting glances—like friends chatting or vendors at work. Check out more prints by Pierre Bonnard (French, 1867–1947).
