The artwork “In the Pleasaunce” by John Atkinson Grimshaw, created in 1875 in the United Kingdom, belongs to the Impressionism art movement. It is a genre painting, measuring 47.6 x 76.2 cm, and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a tranquil garden scene, featuring a woman seated on a wrought-iron bench. She is elegantly attired in a long dress, with a shawl draped over her shoulders, and holds a parasol which is adorned with a multi-colored pattern. The garden setting is lush and well-tended, with vibrant flower beds, ornate stone urns bearing bright blooms, and a well-manicured lawn. The scene is framed by a backdrop of foliage and a wrought-iron fence, contributing to the serene and idyllic atmosphere of the composition. The attention to detail and the soft play of light convey a sense of peace and leisure, characteristic of Grimshaw’s work during this period.
