About the piece

Painted in 1918 by American Impressionist Robert Spencer, this work captures a quiet moment in New Hope, Pennsylvania. A prominent member of the New Hope School, Spencer employed textured brushstrokes and a muted, earthy palette to find beauty in the local canal-side architecture and everyday village life.
