About this work

This sketch shows a park scene with a wide path, bare trees, and a few people walking. In the center, a woman in a long yellow dress stands out, holding a fan. Below the path, a pond has ducks swimming and resting on the water. The artist used soft colors and loose lines to show movement and light. The trees look like they’re in early spring, with just a hint of green starting to appear. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
