The artwork titled “Promenaders in the Garden,” created by Childe Hassam in 1898, is a genre painting executed with oil on canvas. It belongs to the Impressionist art movement and measures 86.5 x 69.5 cm. Presently, this artwork is housed in the Daniel Malingue Gallery in Paris, France.
In this painting, Hassam portrays a tranquil garden scene, illuminated by soft, dappled sunlight filtering through the verdant foliage. The pathway, winding gently through the garden, is bordered by lush green grass. Figures, primarily women and children in period attire, are depicted strolling or resting, creating a serene and leisurely atmosphere. The brushwork is loose and spontaneous, characteristic of Impressionism, capturing the fleeting quality of light and the delicate interplay of colors. The overall composition exudes a sense of idyllic repose and the simple pleasures of a leisurely garden promenade.
