The Old House, Cos Cob is a 1915 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a weathered two-story house with a sagging porch. The dark lines make the wood grain and ivy stand out. Hassam used drypoint here—scratching lines into the plate to create soft edges. The house sits in Cos Cob, Connecticut, where artists often painted in the early 1900s. Hassam visited often and made many prints of local spots. See one of his oil paintings next—look up *Rainy Day, Fifth Avenue* by Hassam, Childe.
Frederick Childe Hassam was an American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes.
