Afternoon Shadows

Childe Hassam

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a rural setting. There are buildings, including a house with a sloped roof, and smaller structures. The horizon line is visible near the middle of the composition. The brushstrokes convey texture and depth, especially in the foliage and ground. The color scheme is monochromatic, with black tones on a beige background. Large trees are on the left, and the foreground features rough terrain.
