DescriptionWatercolour with pen and ink, originally for ‘This is Paris’ (1959). The Luxembourg Gardens are the parklands of the French Senate housed in the Luxembourg Palace in the sixth arrondissement.

Here with a following wind are adventures new: you can navigate the shoreline; tack all the way back to harbouring arms; and sail around and around the fountain.
