Low Tide, Cos Cob Bridge 1915

Childe Hassam's 1915 etching "Low Tide, Cos Cob Bridge" depicts a picturesque scene of the Cos Cob Bridge, a landmark in the artist's adopted home of Connecticut. The artwork showcases Hassam's masterful use of light and shadow, rendering the wooden structure and surrounding landscape in fine detail. The scene, likely captured during low tide, reveals the bridge's intricate construction and emphasizes the serenity of the water's recession, contrasting with the bustling activity of figures working in the foreground. Hassam's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life are evident in this print, which is a fine example of the artist's signature Impressionistic style.
