A Vermont Village is a 1923 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a small village with a church steeple rising above the rooftops. Trees line the dirt road, and a group of people walks near the center. The lines are loose and scratchy, giving everything a rough, textured look. The artist used a technique called drypoint to create the deep, jagged marks. This method lets ink sit in the grooves, making the lines pop against the lighter background. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists make prints like this.
