The artwork titled “Old House, East Hampton” was created by Childe Hassam in 1917. This piece belongs to the Impressionism art movement and falls under the landscape genre.
The artwork features a charming and rustic old house set in a verdant landscape. The brushwork, characteristic of Impressionism, conveys a sense of movement and light, creating an almost ethereal atmosphere. The house, with its weathered shingles and blue shutters, stands amidst a riot of wildflowers and lush greenery. The surrounding trees frame the composition, their branches dappled with light, adding depth and texture to the scene. The overall effect is one of serene beauty, capturing a moment of tranquility in the East Hampton countryside.
