The Watering Can - Garden at Le Raincy

Georges Seurat

National Gallery of Art

The painting features a large gray watering can in the bottom right corner, set against a lush garden background. Bushes on the right side are speckled with dots of pink, yellow, blue, orange, and purple, suggesting flowers. A dirt path extends from the bottom left up towards a white wall that stretches horizontally across the scene. The watering can rests on the edge of the path. Above the wall are more dark green trees with a small patch of light blue sky. The paint in this image has been applied with small, visible dots and short brushstrokes.
