In the Garden
about 1875

BOLDINI, Giovanni
1842 - 1931

L802. The Gere Collection, on long-term loan to the National Gallery.

The distant row of rooftops suggests that this small garden may be on the outskirts of Montmartre, where Boldini lived for several years. The garden has attracted a visitor; with a few brushstrokes the artist suggests the presence of a woman, dressed in black and wearing a hat, sitting by a flower bed and turning her head to examine a bloom.

The National Gallery, London.
