The Garden of the Tuileries on a Spring Morning

Camille Pissarro

1899 · Oil on canvas · European Paintings

This picture, like the two winter views of the Jardin des Tuileries by Pissarro in the Museum's collection (66.36 and 1979.414), belongs to a series that he painted from his apartment in the rue de Rivoli in 1899. Here, spring has arrived: underneath the blooming trees and soft blue sky, a woman can be seen at lower center, pushing a brightly-attired baby in a carriage. Having sold a number of the scenes to his dealer Durand-Ruel, later that year Pissarro rented the same apartment and executed another fourteen works.
