“In a Park” portrays a tranquil scene featuring several figures within a park setting. Two women, depicted in simple, modest attire with one cradling a child, are seated on a bench engaged in quiet interaction. Adjacent to them, a wooden pram with a cloth canopy stands prominently, with a young boy standing beside it. The background displays trees and buildings rendered in soft, muted tones, creating a serene, placid atmosphere. The brushwork is expressive, with evident strokes contributing to a textured, contemplative composition, common to the Post-Impressionist style. The overall mood conveyed is one of calmness and everyday simplicity captured in a moment of repose.
