Dehn Spring in Central Park Sketchbook from The Met Museum

The painter-lithographer Adolf Dehn was known for his humorous satires and social commentaries on modern life. While living in New York City, Dehn captured scenes from Harlem nightclubs, burlesque theaters, Central Park, and high society. Spring in Central Park is one of several bucolic views he made of the New York skyline and the park at different seasons. Take this sketchbook with you for some outdoor sketching and drawing and let Dehn’s lush spring landscape inspire your own works of art.
