The artwork titled “The Breakfast Room, Winter Morning,” was created by Childe Hassam in 1911. This piece is an oil on canvas painting that belongs to the Impressionism art movement and falls under the genre of genre painting.
In the artwork, a winter morning scene is depicted within a breakfast room. Dominating the scene is a softly illuminated window, its curtains diffusing the light, casting a gentle glow throughout the room. A woman is seated by the window, her figure cloaked in a light, comfortable garment, gazing down at a plate she holds. The composition also includes a tabletop adorned with a glass vase holding vibrant, yellow blossoms which add a burst of color to the serene setting. Adjacent to the table, a bowl filled with fruit is positioned on the windowsill, further enhancing the domestic tranquility captured by Hassam in this evocative work.
