Catalogue Note
“This is the perfect example of a sketch executed with virtuoso far presto. A few well chosen brush strokes are all that is needed to set the scene for this pocket-size Public Gardens. The figures stand out against a yellow background, and the trunks are like pillars supporting a ceiling of trees. Certain Macchiaioli, the Florentine equivalents of the Impressionists, and Giovanni Fattori in particular, had already noted fugitive impressions of this kind on small wooden panels some thirty years earlier” (Antoine Salomon & Guy Cogeval, op. cit., p. 100).
