Afternoon Shadows is a 1918 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a quiet country scene. A house sits small in the middle, trees loom on the left, and rough ground leads to a fence in the back. The black ink is thick in places, thin in others, like quick pencil marks. Hassam made this in 1918. He used one color but the paper’s pale beige peeks through, making shadows feel real. The scene feels calm, like a moment frozen in time. Try another Hassam, Childe work next.
Frederick Childe Hassam was an American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes.
