About the piece

Painted in 1887, Albert Edelfelt’s masterpiece captures the vibrant atmosphere of the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. The composition centers on a nanny tenderly braiding a child's hair, surrounded by a lively array of children at play and fashionable figures, all rendered with luminous light and masterful brushwork.
