Outskirts of East Gloucester 1918

Childe Hassam's "Outskirts of East Gloucester" from 1918 is a quintessential example of American Impressionism. The painting showcases the artist's signature style, with loose brushstrokes capturing the interplay of light and shadow on a charming New England landscape. A large tree dominates the foreground, its verdant foliage framing a view of the quaint town of East Gloucester, with its rooftops and houses nestled amidst the rolling hills. The scene exudes a tranquil and idyllic atmosphere, reminiscent of Hassam's celebrated depictions of American landscapes.
