The artwork titled “The Flag Outside Her Window, April (aka Boys Marching By)” was created by Childe Hassam in 1918. This piece is a representation of the Impressionism movement and falls under the genre of portraiture.
The artwork depicts a woman gazing out of a window, possibly observing a parade or passing soldiers, indicated by the U.S. flag partially visible outside the window. The scene is rendered in a soft, warm glow, characteristic of the Impressionist style, with a focus on light and color. The woman’s thoughtful expression and delicate pose evoke a sense of contemplation and anticipation. The use of light accentuates the textures of her hair and garment, imparting a serene yet poignant atmosphere to the composition.
