Summer Evening 1886

"Summer Evening" (1886) by Childe Hassam depicts a young woman in a white dress, sitting by a window and gazing out into a rural landscape. The scene is bathed in warm, golden light, conveying a sense of tranquility and peace. The window, with its lush potted plant and open view, acts as a frame for the woman's contemplative pose, suggesting a moment of quiet reflection on a summer day. Hassam, known for his Impressionistic style, captures the fleeting beauty of the scene through loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors.
