About the piece
Painted around 1860, Pierre Eugène Grandsire's work captures the refined social atmosphere of Second Empire Paris. Using a striking chiaroscuro effect, the artist contrasts the delicate, sun-bleached fashion of the gathering with the immense, brooding canopy of the garden's trees, creating a sense of both grandeur and intimacy.
