Against the Light 1910

"Against the Light" (1910) by Childe Hassam depicts a woman in a light-filled room, gazing out a window. Her figure is framed by the window's edge, creating a sense of depth and intimacy. Hassam, known for his Impressionistic style, uses loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors to capture the soft, diffused light that bathes the scene. The woman's delicate form and the subtle hues of the room evoke a sense of tranquility and introspection, making it a classic example of Hassam's signature style.
