In the summer of 1867, the German artist Adolph Menzel visited Paris for nine weeks. While there, he almost certainly went to Manet’s temporary pavilion, which for a few days was situated near the Universal Exhibition. The pavilion displayed around 50 of Manet's paintings, including Music in the Tuileries Gardens (1862), also in the National Gallery's collection.Menzel began work on his painting of the Tuileries Gardens upon his return to Berlin. Not only was his version a response to Manet’s, it was also the first of what was to become a series of modern urban scenes. Menzel has directly quoted elements from Manet, such as the man in profile wearing a top hat and the crouching child in the foreground, but his picture is not a copy or pastiche.
