Parade, Washington Square
1912

Impressionist painting depicting a vibrant, bustling park scene with numerous figures gathered, some carrying flags, amidst trees with autumnal foliage. The foreground shows a large tree trunk and scattered individuals, while the background features a row of red buildings. The brushwork is loose and expressive, capturing the lively atmosphere of a public gathering.
