About the piece
Painted in 1883 by American artist Samuel S. Carr, this charming genre scene captures a community picnic in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. The work is notable for its sophisticated play of light and shadow, as the bright whites and pinks of the Victorian dresses pop against the deep, atmospheric greens of the wooded landscape.
