William Glackens devoted a number of canvases to children at play in the parks of New York City. An illustrator by profession, Glackens captures the small, anecdotal moments of a park outing—the little boy whose feet dangle from the park bench is the only one with his hat off; a girl in white pedals her bike, keeping her eyes on the older girls. Painted in soft focus, this scene glows like a memory from childhood.
