1921
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The "Home Sweet Home" Cottage, Easthampton is a 1921 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a small, cozy house surrounded by trees and bushes. The trees are thick with leaves, and the house sits on a slight hill with a path leading up to it. The whole scene is drawn in black lines with no color, giving it a scratchy, textured look. The artist used a technique that creates lots of tiny lines and shading to show light and shadow. This kind of drawing is called etching. Look up etching to see how artists make prints like this.
Frederick Childe Hassam was an American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes.
