About the piece

In 'Duck Island', American Impressionist Childe Hassam explores the interplay of light and texture along the New England coast. Painted in 1906, the work utilizes a bright, high-keyed palette and short, energetic brushstrokes to render the sun-drenched granite rocks and the shimmering expanse of the Atlantic Ocean.
