Celentano’s painting Picnic depicts working-class people happily at leisure. The picnic is simple without frills or elegance.
A family picnic in the country. the picnic blanket is spread out under a tree. Seems to be several families, and they all cluster on or around the blanket: in the center, a woman, her head back and eyes closed. Next to her is a reclining man with a small boy (about three) holding on to his shoulders, a woman places food on the blanket, her large behind faces the viewer, and another woman in a bathing suit hangs towels on a clothesline, yet another statuesque woman in a bathing suit flexes her biceps.
