The Artist's Wife and Daughters in a Park at Heringsdorf is a 1877 gouache by Anton von Werner, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a sunny park with a dirt path and tall trees. A woman in a blue-and-white striped dress stands near a man bending over a wooden cart full of plants. Two children play nearby—one in a white dress and hat, the other sitting on the ground. In the background, another woman and child walk away, while a man in dark clothes stands far off. The artist used soft, bright colors to show light filtering through the leaves. The scene feels quiet and everyday, like a moment frozen in time. If you like this style, look up Impressionism.
