About the piece

Painted in 1913, this vibrant seascape by American Impressionist Childe Hassam depicts the rocky coast of the Isles of Shoals. Through rapid, broken brushstrokes and a luminous palette of blues, greens, and whites, Hassam masterfully captures the fleeting effects of sunlight and water during the peak of his career.
