Home Sweet Home Cottage, No. 3, Easthampton is a 1928 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a row of simple wooden houses with steep roofs, all lined up in a quiet street. The buildings are drawn in sharp black lines, with windows and doors clearly visible. The background is filled with tiny, textured marks that look like trees or bushes, giving a slightly fuzzy, dreamy feel. The artist used a mix of fine lines and rough shading to create depth—notice how the houses fade into the dark background. The whole scene feels cozy but also a little lonely, like a small town at rest. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Hassam, Childe.
