The Jonathan Baker Farm

Childe Hassam

National Gallery of Art

The scene shows rolling fields leading towards farm buildings. The horizon line is high in the composition with trees and buildings. The etching technique creates fine, linear strokes for a sketch-like quality. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of black and white. The fields have detailed patterns and the buildings and trees add vertical elements to the horizontal view.
