Hickories in a Hayfield is a 1917 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows tall hickory trees leaning over a wide hayfield. Their trunks and branches twist against a sky of soft, blank space. Hassam made this during his summer in Connecticut. He etched it in black ink on paper, using fine lines to catch light and shadow on bark and grass. See how the trees frame the open field. For more like this, check out etchings by Hassam, Childe.
