Not on view

In this Central Park scene an elegantly dressed woman in a red dress and two children feed swans from the shore of the Lake. They stand in front of stone columns and a balustrade, and the boy holds a small dog on a leash as swans approach from the right. The Bethesda fountain is represented in the background and the image is surrounded by a painted and gilded border.
