Little Cobbler's Shop 1912

"Little Cobbler's Shop," painted in 1912 by American Impressionist Childe Hassam, depicts a bustling street scene. The artist uses vivid colors and loose brushstrokes to capture the energy of the city. The painting showcases Hassam's mastery of light and shadow, particularly in the reflections of the wet pavement. The composition features a variety of storefronts, including a cobbler shop, an auto school, and a tailor, all of which are characteristic of urban life in the early 20th century.
