The Shoppers 1907

"The Shoppers" by William James Glackens, painted in 1907, depicts a group of women shopping in a store. The scene is set in a dimly lit, cluttered space, likely a millinery shop, as evidenced by the hats and clothes on display. Glackens, a member of the Ashcan School, captured the everyday life of urban America in his works, often focusing on working-class people and their surroundings. This painting exemplifies his style, using loose brushstrokes and a muted palette to convey a sense of spontaneity and realism.
