Artist, French, 1885 - 1930

This is a painting of a garden scene with trees and greenery. The painting depicts a tranquil garden setting, where two large trees dominate the scene, with one having a dense green top and the other showing more branches. Between the trees, there is lush green vegetation, some tall plants or shrubs. In the foreground, there is a bench-like shape. This is in the style of Mary Cassatt. The artwork uses soft lines and a pastel color palette, giving it an impressionistic quality that focuses on capturing the leisurely and serene atmosphere of the garden space.
