Inner Harbor, Gloucester is a 1923 ink by Childe Hassam, depicting Harbor, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet harbor in Gloucester. Tall ships fill the background. Small boats bob in the foreground. Gabled buildings line the shore. Hassam made many prints like this. He loved how light and shadow play on water and wood. Etchings use acid to bite lines into metal plates. Ink gets pushed into the lines. Paper presses against it. The lines print dark. Try Hassam, Childe next.
Frederick Childe Hassam was an American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes.
