Description

An American guidebook, published in 1928, noted, “Paris loves trees and children. One cannot think for two minutes of either subject without finding the other equally present to mind.” This lithograph portraying adults and children traversing a path in Paris’s most celebrated garden memorializes this association of the city’s parks with children.
A horizontally oriented color lithograph depicts a park scene with sketchy lines and muted dabs of color. In the foreground, white birds rest on a green lawn. A figure in a yellow and brown plaid cloak walks away on a wide, pale path. To the right, people with light skin tones stand near bushes, including a woman in a yellow skirt. Minimalist, thin trees and shrubbery fill the background under a pale sky.
