Royal family

A group of figures in white summer dress gathers at the paved edge of a garden pool thick with water lilies and floating pads. A man in a white military-style uniform and cap sits beside a seated woman in a wide-brimmed hat, while others stand further back beneath open parasols under shading trees, and a child in a sailor hat crouches near the water.

The composition is dominated by the pond's deep blues and greens, reflecting sky, foliage and the white-clad figures in broken, shimmering strokes. Dappled sunlight filters through the trees onto the group, rendered with loose, confident brushwork in the impressionist manner, creating a leisurely, sunlit garden atmosphere.
