Floor of the Stock Exchange is a 1927 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a busy stock exchange floor in 1927. Light pours through tall arched windows. Traders crowd around tall machines. Hassam’s lines are razor sharp. Look how the drypoint scratches catch shadows. The deeper the line, the darker the shadow. It makes the scene feel alive. See how this compares to Whistler’s etchings. They share that same crisp, quiet drama.
Frederick Childe Hassam was an American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes.
