The image captures a moment of childhood tranquility in the green heart of Manhattan. A child in a red t-shirt and blue shorts rests lying on the mighty horizontal trunk of an old tree, probably an American elm, typical of Central Park. The late afternoon light filters through the foliage creating an intimate and serene atmosphere. Central Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1858, represents an 843-acre oasis in the middle of the metropolis. This scene testifies how the park offers New Yorkers a space of escape from urban frenzy.
