About the piece

Painted around 1880, this work depicts a 'Guignol' puppet show in the Tuileries Garden, a popular leisure activity in 19th-century Paris. The artist employs loose, Impressionistic brushwork and a soft, naturalistic palette to capture the atmospheric light and social energy of a summer day in the city.
