Alfresco

The classic images of people eating outside come from Impressionists such as Eduard Manet's 'Le dejeuner sur l'herbe' (above) and Auguste Renoir's 'Luncheon of the Boating Party' (below).
Vincent Van Gogh's 'Cafe de nuit' (below) is another famous depiction of alfresco eating, this time with more emphasis on the cityscape than on the people themselves.
Arthur Rackham's illustration for Alice in Wonderland (below) shows the Mad Hatter's tea party set amongst the trees.
