Garden party, Le pare, Ancient and contemporary artists, Les artistes anciens et moderns, print, Series number, 84, 240, inscription: 'Aug Allebé', printmaker: Célestin François Nanteuil, after painting by Jean Antoine Watteau, printer (person): Victor Jacques Bertauts, Paris, 1848 - 1862, printer (person), paper, chine collé, lithography, height 315 mm x width 447 mm, garden, festivities, A shaded, monochrome scene shows a tree-lined avenue with tall, dense foliage forming a canopy and a bright opening in the distance revealing an architectural archway. Along the pathway small groups of people in period clothing are gathered; some are seated on the ground or reclining while others stand and converse. Women wear long, flowing dresses with ruffled skirts and men wear fitted garments with decorative sleeves. A child is held by an adult and another child sits nearby. One figure walks toward the bright opening between the trees, and a small dog stands near the seated groups. The overall image is rendered with fine, textured strokes creating soft contrasts between the dark trees and the lighter sky and clearing.
