Bathers, Annisquam 1919

William James Glackens's pastel drawing "Bathers, Annisquam" (1919) depicts a leisurely summer scene on the coast of Massachusetts. Glackens captures the vibrant colors and relaxed atmosphere of the scene, with figures in bathing suits enjoying the water while a sailboat glides by in the distance. The artist's use of pastel creates a soft, airy feel, typical of his later style, which emphasized color and spontaneity. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and escapism, transporting the viewer to a peaceful seaside haven.
