La promenade du dimanche 1875

"La promenade du dimanche" (Sunday Stroll), painted in 1875 by Léon François Comerre, depicts a woman and a young girl walking through a lush forest. The woman, dressed in a pink gown with intricate lace and frills, holds a parasol and a hat while walking beside the young girl in a white dress and a blue sash. The composition highlights the romantic atmosphere of a leisurely stroll, emphasizing the beauty of nature and the innocence of childhood, a popular theme in the 19th century. Comerre was known for his mastery of detail and his ability to capture the soft, delicate textures of clothing and the natural world. This artwork is a charming example of the Realist and Academic styles popular during Comerre's time.
