About the piece

Painted around 1856 by Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli, this work captures a social gathering at the Tuileries Garden in Paris. Known for his thick application of paint and glowing light effects, Monticelli creates a sense of movement and elegance through the shimmering fabrics of the women's gowns against a warm, shadowy background.
