The Common, Central Park

Description

The Common, Central Park by William Merritt Chase shows broad green lawn reaching toward a band of trees and a reddish building at the far edge of the park. Grass fills the foreground and shifts from deep green nearby to softer tones at the distance. Trees break the horizon, and a red structure adds a warm point of color.
