The artwork, titled “New York, Late Afternoon, Winter,” was created by Childe Hassam in the year 1900. It is a part of the Impressionism art movement and features dimensions of 93.8 x 73.7 centimeters. This cityscape painting is housed in the Brooklyn Museum located in New York City, NY, USA.
The artwork depicts a serene, snow-covered urban scene during late afternoon in New York City in winter. The soft, fluid brushstrokes characteristic of the Impressionist style evoke a sense of calm and tranquility. Hues of muted blues and grays dominate the composition, creating a foggy, ethereal atmosphere. Faint lights from street lamps and buildings pierce through the haze, providing a gentle contrast to the predominantly cool color palette. Figures and carriages are subtly rendered, blending into the scene and adding to the overall impressionistic quality. The painting beautifully captures the quiet beauty of a wintry day in the city, inviting viewers to contemplate the tranquil, almost dreamlike quality of winter in an urban setting.
