To be honest I am not familiar with the work of this artist and if I have come across his works I do not remember them.

Perhaps I was inattentive then but everything has its time.

I do not know what other viewers see in this picture but I see some ridicule a caricature of what people call "gossip".

You know today you can see grandmothers sitting on benches in front of the entrances who discuss everyone passing by and all the residents of the house because grandmothers know everything about everyone.

I see something similar in this park where the nobility gathered men who sometimes behave like chatty grandmothers.

And in those times, when this picture was painted many gossips or simply unnecessary chatter became the cause of duels, people sometimes died of boredom in the literal sense of the word :)

As for the drawing technique I like this style and soft tones of the picture and the perspective here is beyond criticism my gaze is simply carried away to the horizon of the park and the play of light and shadow gives a special realism to this work.
