The artwork titled “Shinnecock Hills, Peconic Bay” was created by William Merritt Chase between circa 1892 and circa 1902. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Impressionism art movement and portrays a landscape, spanning dimensions of 60.96 by 89.54 cm. Currently, it resides in a private collection.
In the artwork, a tranquil scene of Shinnecock Hills adjacent to Peconic Bay is depicted with vibrant, lush greenery that occupies the foreground, gradually transitioning to a serene body of water under a clear blue sky. A solitary figure can be observed amidst the vegetation, adding a subtle human element to the otherwise predominantly natural landscape. The meticulous brushwork and the harmonious color palette are emblematic of the Impressionist style, capturing the light and essence of the scenic environment. The overall composition exudes a peaceful and contemplative mood, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the depicted natural beauty.
