Notes:
Franklin Armington lived in Paris for nearly 35 years and became established in the artistic community in the Latin Quarter. After studying at the Académie Julian, he went on to become a well-known painter and printmaker, with works placed in the collections of museums such as the Museé Nationale de Luxembourg, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum, the Petit Palais and the Library of Congress in the United States. This charming painting perfectly captures the ambiance of this famous Paris garden.
