November, Cos Cob 1902

"November, Cos Cob" is a 1902 pastel painting by American artist Childe Hassam, known for his Impressionistic style. The painting depicts a quiet street scene in Cos Cob, Connecticut, with a large tree dominating the foreground, its branches reaching towards the sky. A few figures are scattered throughout the scene, adding a sense of scale and intimacy. The pastel medium gives the painting a soft, luminous quality, capturing the delicate light of a late autumn day. This work is characteristic of Hassam's later works, known for their vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork, which give the impression of light dancing on the surfaces of everyday life.
