Impressionist Early 20th Century Pastel - In the Park

Description

A delightful pastel work that draws inspiration from the Impressionists in both style and subject. The accurate depiction of light and its changing qualities was a founding principle of the Impressionist movement. Here, the artist expertly captures the interplay of light and shadow in tones of bright white, blue, and purple as it plays across the ladies' dresses and parasol. In subject, the work recalls the middle-class leisure scenes that are characteristic of the genre, such as Renoir's 'Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette,' Manet's 'Music in the Tuileries,' or Morisot's 'Summer's Day.' The piece is illegibly signed to the lower right and is well presented in a gilt frame. On paper.
