Au Jardin d'Acclimatation (In the Zoological Garden)

National Gallery of Art

Two women are leaning over a wooden fence observing a group of birds. The woman in the foreground has detailed facial features and dark hair styled under a feather-adorned hat. She wears a dark long-sleeve dress with a high collar. Behind her, a woman with lighter features and a lighter hat observes as well. The background is filled with trees and foliage, creating a rich, textured setting resembling a garden or park. In front of the women, several birds with distinctive plumage can be seen perched or walking on the grass.
