The Chase House

Childe Hassam

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a front view of a brick building with a central entrance, flanked by windows. The perspective is at eye level, capturing the building's base and the sidewalk. Linear brushstrokes detail the texture of the bricks and foliage. The monochromatic color palette uses shades of gray and black. In the foreground, a child stands near a fence, while two adults climb stairs leading to the entrance, where another person is visible. In the background, a tree's branches extend from the left side of the building.
