Sunday Morning in front of the Arch Street Meeting House, Philadelphia

John Lewis Krimmel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a group of five people standing on a brick sidewalk. A man on the left wears a light-colored suit, blue stockings, and a wide-brimmed hat. He is accompanied by a woman in a brown dress and a tall, black hat. A boy in a green suit and black hat stands in front of them, holding a cane. To their right are two women in long white dresses and bonnets. The woman on the far right holds a parasol. Behind them is a brown brick wall with pillars and a large beige building with many windows. A tree is visible behind the wall. The group appears to be in 18th-century attire.
