The image, captured on tan paper laid on board, measures 43.2x49.5 cm and is part of a private collection. In this fine art piece, Glackens skillfully portrays a large group of people enjoying their leisure time at The Battery. The artist's use of natural light beautifully illuminates the scene, creating an inviting atmosphere filled with energy and activity. The composition showcases both men and women engaged in various recreational pursuits against the backdrop of a building exterior. As visitors walk along the pier and jetty, they soak up the sunlight while taking in the picturesque view of nature surrounding them. Glackens' mastery lies in his ability to capture fleeting moments during daytime hours. Through his delicate strokes and vibrant colors, he brings life to this snapshot of weekend activities at The Battery. This artwork not only highlights Glackens' talent but also represents an important period in American art history known as the Ashcan School movement. With "The Battery".
