Walking at the Lake, Bois de Boulogne

Pierre Bonnard · c. 1900 · oil on millboard ·  Accession ID  2006.128.10

This horizontal painting is filled with gray and white clouds against a blue sky. Wisps of white clouds are interspersed among banks of darker gray clouds against a pale blue sky in the top half of the painting. A tower of gray clouds to the left obscure a deep red circle, which only becomes evident upon careful inspection. Rays of pale shell pink streak down from the clouds along the bottom edge of the painting.
