Repose in a Park

The artwork Repose in a Park is a painting created in 1730. It is currently held at the Saint Louis Art Museum.

The painting depicts a leisurely scene of elegantly dressed men and women socializing in a park-like setting. The focal point is a group of three women seated in the center, engaged in conversation. They are surrounded by other figures, some standing, some seated, some engaged in playful interactions. To the left, children play by a well, while in the background, others enjoy the scenery and a game of chase. The lush landscape features a wooded area with a sculpted figure partially hidden amongst the trees. The warm evening light bathes the scene, creating a sense of tranquility and leisure.
