    Artwork

    Posters fill a billboard-like wall that stretches across most of the horizontal composition in this loosely painted scene. Two red-and-white striped tents with rounded tops are in the lower left quadrant of the composition. One person, perhaps a woman wearing a hat and a white dress, stands in blue shadow near one of the tents, and four others stroll across the golden-tan walkway to the right. One pedestrian wears a white dress and carries a white parasol. A man and woman wear russet brown, and the person next to the woman in white wears black. The posters are painted in tones of canary yellow, lapis blue, and red with a few touches of cool green and white. The posters, tents, and the people’s bodies are outlined in cobalt blue. Two rooflines to the left and some vertical strokes in turquoise green, light pink, and pale yellow suggest buildings stretching into the distance. A banner flies from the top of the wall in the upper right corner of the painting against a vivid blue sky in the top third of the composition. Brushstrokes are visible throughout, and glimpses of raw canvas are light brown at the edges. The artist signed the painting in the lower right corner in blue, “Marquet.”
    Albert Marquet, Posters at Trouville, 1906, oil on canvas, Collection of Mr. and Mrs. John Hay Whitney, 1998.74.1
