Old Lace is a 1915 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a calm river from above. A small boat drifts near shore. A stone bridge with thin metal railings arches in the background. Trees and buildings line the far bank. The picture is in sepia ink, giving it a soft, old-time look. This is an etching, a print made by scratching lines into metal. Hassam used this method to create fine details and smooth shading. He often worked this way to capture quiet scenes like this one. Try Hassam, Childe next.
