About this work

This painting shows a shady park with thick trees and a dirt path winding through. The leaves are bright green and yellow, while the trunks are dark and rough. In the distance, a few horses graze near a fence. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to capture the light filtering through the leaves. It feels like a sketchy, natural moment rather than a polished scene. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
