About this work

This green-tinted print shows four women walking together in a garden. Their dresses are simple, with one carrying a bouquet of flowers. The background has a tree with leafy branches and a building with windows. The colors are mostly green and white, with some brown and gray. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving the scene a quick, lively feel. This style was common in prints of the time. Next, check out lithography to see how this image was made.
