Prendergast: Umbrellas in the Rain, 1899
The puddles!
The contrast between the repeating spear-shaped windows and the speckles of color that the umbrellas offer is lovely!
When I see this painting I think of the word: nice.
Though it's somewhat dreary to think about, with muted colors and washed out details, it is pleasant to look at and holds a bit of fantasy to it because how often does one see such an image?
The thing that makes this painting for me is the puddles.
