Hyde Park, London

Large trees tinged yellow and green spread their branches from both sides, and a path continues toward the back of the picture. Blue shadows from the trees fall across the path, and carriages and people line up small in the distance. Under a tree at the right foreground, a seated figure can also be seen. The technique is distemper on paper mounted on canvas, and the work measures 54.0 x 65.0 cm.

According to the museum's commentary, partly because his son Lucien was living in London, Pissarro visited London four times in his life. He seems to have found a fresh appeal there that differed from France, and despite his short stays, 35 London landscapes survive.

This work was painted during the second of those visits, in the spring of 1890. It was also the year that Pissarro, who for several years had followed Seurat's influence in adopting divisionism, gave up the pointillist technique after much anguish.
