About the piece

Painted in 1884, John Lavery’s 'Under the Cherry Tree' beautifully captures the soft, dappled light of an afternoon by the River Loing. The composition masterfully balances figures engaged in quiet activities—a seated girl with a wheelbarrow and a man punting a boat—against a backdrop of verdant greenery and the graceful stone arches of a bridge.
