Is this an impressionist picture? Who painted it?
The picture is reminiscent of work by Millet. However, I couldn't find any pictures by him that matched the one in question. Colors are pastels. Background is sky with clouds. Four people are walking through a field of grain. The woman in the foreground is carrying a parasol and the portly man in front of her has a cane with a top hat resting on it. The woman, the girl behind her, and the woman behind her are wearing bonnets. The women and the girl are all carrying parasols in their right hand and have shawls or blankets draped over their left arm. The portly man in front is wearing a white ruffled shirt and a vest over the shirt. Everyone is well-dressed as if out for a Sunday stroll. The sky occupies approximately 60% of the picture. The people are walking single file. Does anyone have any thoughts about who the artist may be?
