Detailed Description
The artwork depicts a wide, elevated view of a park and a city beyond. The upper third of the composition features a light, textured sky with shades of gray, white, and subtle hints of pale yellow and orange. Below the sky, a distant city skyline stretches across the horizon. A large, light-colored cathedral with two prominent domes and two spires is a central feature of the skyline. A dense band of dark, bare trees forms a horizontal line, separating the city from the park. The middle and lower sections of the composition show an expansive park, characterized by light-colored, winding paths. These paths are filled with numerous small, indistinct figures of people. Rectangular patches of vibrant green grass are interspersed among the paths. Several larger, bare trees with dark branches are scattered throughout the park. Some of these trees exhibit a reddish-brown hue on their smaller branches. In the bottom left corner, a dark signature reads "C. Pissarro. 99."
