Nannies' Promenade by Pierre Bonnard, 1895-1899

This four-panel screen, color lithograph depicts nannies tending to children playing with hoops and dogs at the the Tuileries Gardens near the Place de la Concorde in Paris. In a letter to his mother Bonnard referred to this screen as "the eighth wonder of the world."  I agree.
