"In the Park" is a pastel on paper artwork created by American Impressionist painter Childe Hassam in 1902. The work depicts a group of figures walking through a park, the figures are rendered with loose, gestural strokes, and the background is filled with soft, hazy brushwork, highlighting the Impressionistic style Hassam is known for. The overall effect is one of light and airiness, capturing the fleeting beauty of a summer day.
