Eugène Boudin

Associated Names

Eugène Boudin

Artist, French, 1824 - 1898

This is a painting of a social gathering in an outdoor setting. Two figures are central to the composition, facing each other, one dressed in a dark outfit and the other in a long dress with red accents. The background features additional figures. A couple of dogs are also present. The use of light strokes and subtle colors gives the piece a delicate quality. This painting resembles the style of John Singer Sargent, with its graceful depiction of everyday life.
