About the piece

Painted around 1912, 'Jetties at Bellport' is a quintessential example of William James Glackens' Impressionist style. The work depicts a lively shore scene on Long Island, with figures in early 20th-century swimwear dotting the beach and jetties. Glackens uses a shimmering palette of soft purples, greens, and blues to convey the atmospheric haze of a summer day, demonstrating his mastery of light and social observation.
