Note: The description of this painting in the 1913 estate sale catalogue identifies the location as Central Park in New York City:
Trees of sparse foliage at the left cast slender shadows over a broad path, on which several maids are walking in a large city park. The path winds down to the middle distance and out of sight amidst shrubbery, and in the distance rise twin spires and high buildings. This apparently is a composition taken from the lower end of Central Park.
