Even in this landscape scene worked out in delicate colours, Lautrec focuses most attention on the people. Followed by their dog, this elegantly attired couple have escaped the city for a day trip to the countryside. Lautrec may have based the rendering of the flat landscape – unusual for France – on memories of a holiday he took in the Netherlands in 1894.
