A Shaded Avenue
ca. 1775
Oil on wood
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
A painting depicts a tree-lined avenue with a tunnel of dark foliage, where small figures stroll and gather. Light filters through the trees, illuminating parts of the path and the sky above. The intimate scale of this oil on wood panel, combined with the muted palette of black, umber, and taupe, enhances the serene and shaded atmosphere of the tree-lined avenue.
