Easthampton, Sidewalk is a 1925 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This 1925 etching shows a quiet sidewalk lined with trees. The path slopes gently away, its edge marked by a lone figure. The artist uses fine lines and deep shadows to pull your eye into the distance. Hassam often worked this way. He liked how etching could capture light and air with simple black ink. This isn’t just a street scene—it’s a study of how shadows shape a walk. Check out more of Childe Hassam’s etchings next.
Frederick Childe Hassam was an American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes.
