Figures Meeting on a Terrace is a 1826 watercolor by Richard Parkes Bonington, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a small group of people in fancy 1800s clothes walking outside. The sky is bright with soft clouds, and the background has trees and a distant city. One woman in a red dress and a man in a dark coat with a hat stand out in the center, while two kids and another couple walk nearby. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a light, almost sketchy feel. This style was common in watercolors of the time.
