Along the Boulevard

Along the Boulevard, a painting by Maurice Prendergast, dates from 1894. It is in the collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. The artwork depicts a group of women and children seated together, possibly on a bench or in a waiting area. The women are dressed in dark, loose-fitting clothing, and the children wear lighter-colored dresses. The style is Impressionistic, with loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the overall mood and atmosphere rather than precise detail. The background suggests an outdoor setting, possibly a boulevard or street scene, with a hint of a horse-drawn carriage visible in the distance. The colors are muted, primarily blues, grays, and yellows, creating a somewhat somber yet peaceful tone. The exact dimensions are not provided in the metadata.
