“The Terrace of the Tuileries with People Walking” is an artwork by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1886 in Paris, France. This pencil-on-paper sketch belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and represents a study or sketch genre. The artwork is currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork portrays a scene set in the Tuileries Garden, characterized by a serene ambiance as various individuals stroll through the terrace. The use of pencil on paper creates a monochromatic look, giving the scene a contemplative and somewhat stark atmosphere. The figures are depicted in simple, yet expressive forms, capturing the essence of their leisurely activities. Trees and a small structure dominate the composition, serving as focal points around which the walking figures are dispersed. The sketchy, dynamic lines effectively convey a sense of movement and life within a tranquil park environment.
