The artwork, titled “Celia Thaxter’s Garden, Appledore, Isles of Shoals,” was created by the artist Childe Hassam in 1890. It belongs to the Impressionism art movement and falls under the landscape genre.
In the artwork, one can observe a lush and vivid garden scene, replete with tall flowering plants and dense greenery. The foliage is brought to life through the use of impressionistic brushstrokes, conveying a sense of vibrancy and movement. Soft hues dominate the painting, with the sky rendered in light tones, providing a serene and tranquil backdrop to the dynamic flora. The steps partially visible on the right add an architectural element, hinting at human presence amidst the natural splendor. The overall composition reflects the characteristic Impressionist emphasis on light and natural beauty.
