Tina Blau had achieved success. Her art was acclaimed not only in Vienna but even in Paris. Blau had made the most of her time in the French capital. She visited the Tuileries Garden and painted the park’s central avenue between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde in various weather conditions. Here it is a gray and overcast day. Only a few darkly dressed people are out and about. The wooden panel is left partly visible, the paint has been applied in thick impasto using short brushstrokes. Just a few strokes suffice to render the wood planters, a cape, or the statues on their plinths. The painting belongs to a group of works that led to Blau’s recognition in Munich when she exhibited there in 1890.
