About the piece

Painted in 1919, George Bellows’ 'Tennis at Newport' captures the social spectacle of the Gilded Age at the Newport Casino. The work is defined by its masterful use of high-contrast lighting, where long, late-afternoon shadows stretch across the vivid green grass, highlighting the white garments and colorful parasols of the spectators.
