A couple stroll along a gravel walk in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris at dusk, the woman in a pink dress, a pale moon rising over the trees and a fountain basin behind them. Sargent painted it in 1879, when he was twenty-three and still a student of Carolus-Duran, and the grey-violet twilight shows how closely he was looking at Whistler and the French painters of modern life. He made two versions; this one is in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
A soft twilight park scene in grey, violet and pink for a bedroom, hallway or living room in a thin black frame. It pairs well with Hassam's Paris and New York street views and suits a pale grey or lavender wall.
