Big Horse Chestnut Tree 1928

Childe Hassam's 1928 etching "Big Horse Chestnut Tree" is a delicate portrayal of a grand, leafy tree dominating the foreground. The tree's branches sprawl across the scene, obscuring a simple, rustic building in the background. The etching highlights the beauty of nature, as seen through Hassam's signature Impressionist style. This work, measuring 8 7/8 x 11 3/4 in. (22.54 x 29.85 cm), is on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
