Little Old Cottage, Egypt Lane, East Hampton 1917

Childe Hassam's "Little Old Cottage, Egypt Lane, East Hampton" (1917) is an oil painting depicting a quaint cottage in East Hampton, Long Island. The painting, characteristic of Hassam's Impressionist style, captures the warm light of a summer day, with sun-dappled leaves and the dappled light of the afternoon sun bathing the cottage in a soft, warm glow. The artist's masterful use of color and brushstrokes bring the scene to life. The painting's serene and idyllic atmosphere invites viewers to escape into a world of quiet beauty and peaceful contemplation.
