Sweeping Snow is a 1894 unspecified by Childe Hassam, a American Impressionism work, depicting Domestic Worker, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A snowy city street glows under a pale winter sky. Streetlights flicker in the gloom. Bare trees line a row of brick houses. Hassam painted this in the 1890s when American artists were trying new ways to show light and weather. Fresh snow muffles the city sounds. The scene feels quiet and still. This work makes you want to step into the cold. Compare it to Whistler’s London fog scenes.
Frederick Childe Hassam was an American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes.
