About the piece
Painted around 1913, 'Under the Trees' is a definitive example of Maurice Prendergast's signature mosaic-like style. Using rhythmic, dabbing brushstrokes, Prendergast transforms a simple park scene into a decorative arrangement of flattened forms and jewel-toned colors, capturing the leisure and fashion of the early 20th century with a modern, rhythmic sensibility.
