About the piece

Painted in 1889 during Charles Courtney Curran's time in Paris, this work captures the tranquil atmosphere of the Cluny Garden. Two women rest in the foreground, their figures anchored by the vibrant red of a silk parasol that filters the afternoon sun. Behind them, classical columns and statues emerge from the verdant foliage, blending the elegance of the Belle Époque with a timeless natural setting.
