About the piece

Painted in 1890 by Childe Hassam, this work captures the quiet hustle of New York's Union Square during a winter storm. Using a soft, muted palette of blues, grays, and whites, Hassam employs rapid, Impressionistic brushstrokes to convey the fleeting movement of horse-drawn trolleys and carriages through the slushy streets, evoking a sense of calm within the urban landscape.
