Woman with Umbrella, Washington Square c. 1910

"Woman with Umbrella, Washington Square" is a pastel on paper artwork painted in 1910 by William James Glackens, a prominent American artist from the early 20th century. The painting depicts a bustling scene in Washington Square Park in New York City, with a horse-drawn carriage in the background and a diverse group of people enjoying the park. The figures are depicted in a loose and expressive style, characteristic of Glackens' work, which drew inspiration from Impressionism and the Ashcan School, known for its depictions of everyday life in urban settings. The vibrant colors and energetic brushstrokes create a sense of movement and spontaneity, capturing the essence of a bustling city park.
