When you’re Eugène Delacroix, your hostess gift is an original, personalized painting. Delacroix gave the writer George Sand this rendering of the landscape at her château in central France, where he was a frequent guest during summers in the 1840s.
🎨 “George Sand’s Garden at Nohant” is on view thru July 29 in the @metmuseum exhibit Public Parks, Private Gardens: Paris to Provence.
