The artwork, titled “At Shinnecock Hills,” is an oil painting on canvas created by the artist William Merritt Chase. This piece belongs to the Impressionism art movement and falls under the genre of landscape. The dimensions of the painting are 65.41 x 82.55 cm, and it is currently part of a private collection.
In the artwork, Chase adeptly captures the serene and expansive landscape of Shinnecock Hills. The canvas portrays a dirt pathway that gently meanders through a sunlit field, rich with varied tones of earthy browns and subtle greens. The broad horizon is punctuated by a few distant, softly rendered trees, while the sky overhead is an open expanse of muted, warm hues, suggesting either dawn or dusk. Through the loose, spontaneous brushwork characteristic of Impressionism, Chase evokes a sense of peacefulness and natural beauty, inviting viewers to observe the quiet elegance of a rural setting.
