Cab Stand at Night, Madison Square, New York 1891

Childe Hassam's "Cab Stand at Night, Madison Square, New York" (1891) depicts a snowy New York City streetscape. The scene, set against the backdrop of Madison Square, features a group of figures bundled in dark clothing, standing beside a line of horse-drawn carriages. The painting is characterized by a distinct Impressionist style with loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light, particularly the luminous glow of street lamps reflected on the snow-covered ground. Hassam's work is known for its vibrant depictions of urban life, particularly in his adopted city of New York.
