The Harbor 1902

"The Harbor" (1902) by American Impressionist Childe Hassam depicts a tranquil scene of sailboats docked at a harbor. Hassam's signature loose brushstrokes and vibrant palette create a sense of light and movement. The work captures a quintessential American summer scene, showcasing the beauty of coastal life. The painting exemplifies Hassam's fascination with capturing the fleeting moments of nature, particularly the interplay of light and shadow on water and foliage.
