About the piece

Painted in 1868, this masterpiece by Silvestro Lega is a cornerstone of the Macchiaioli movement. The work beautifully captures a tranquil afternoon in a sun-drenched Tuscan garden, utilizing sophisticated contrasts of light and shadow to depict a scene of domestic leisure and quiet companionship.
