Comments - Attractive scene of beauties visiting a garden in autumn, enjoying a stroll about the grounds. At left, a woman holds a red balloon on a string as a waitress behind her serves tea to a man sitting on a bench. In the center, a young boy walks excitedly at his mother's side, holding her hand and reaching forward. He wears a kimono patterned with bamboo along with a Western-style straw hat and black lace-up leather shoes with red socks. A lovely setting with wonderful detail in the flowers and plants, and soft shading in the blue sky overhead. A charming subject.
