Richard Lahey

The Luxembourg Gardens
c. 1929

A detailed black and white sketch depicts a lively park scene with numerous figures, including children playing and adults standing or sitting on benches. In the background, a fountain serves as a central focal point, surrounded by trees that frame the setting. The artwork conveys a sense of casual, everyday life with dynamic human interactions.
