From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Central Park is a 1901 by Maurice Prendergast, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a busy park scene with lots of people walking and sitting. The colors are bright—red umbrellas, green grass, and pastel clothes. Some folks are holding hands or chatting, while others rest on the grass. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving it a lively feel. Notice how the artist used bold colors and simple shapes to show movement. The text at the bottom says "Central Park," so this is likely a park in New York City.
