Snow in April

Snow in April is a 1907 painting by Maurice Prendergast. 



The artwork depicts a snowy scene, possibly a park or garden, with figures in the foreground and a background of trees and a body of water under a pale sky. The style is Post-Impressionistic, characterized by visible brushstrokes and a somewhat fragmented, non-realistic representation of the scene. The colors are muted, with blues, greens, and whites dominating, punctuated by touches of warmer tones. The figures are rendered in a simplified manner, with less emphasis on anatomical detail and more on conveying movement and interaction. A fence is visible in the middle ground. The trees are stylized, with their branches suggesting a winter or early spring setting. The overall impression is one of a quiet, contemplative moment in a snowy landscape. The painting is in the collection of The Phillips Collection. The dimensions are 0.028 meters wide by 0.02 meters high.
