About the piece
Painted in 1899, Edmund Charles Tarbell’s 'Across the Room' is a masterclass in American Impressionism. The composition emphasizes the vastness of the interior space, with light streaming through green shutters and reflecting off the dark, polished floorboards. The woman reclined on the sofa provides a focal point of quiet contemplation, her white gown acting as a luminous counterpoint to the deep, warm tones of the room.
