Childe Hassam AMERICAN: 1859-
FIFTH AVENUE AND FIFTY-SIXTH STREET—SPRING MORNING
Height, 22 inches; width, 20 inches
On the right a broad sidewalk, overhung by trees, is crowded with people in spring garments, prominent among them young ladies, one of whom, in a yellow dress, leads a small pet dog. On the left, across the street, on which are seen the familiar omnibus, a number of private carriages and a white-garbed street cleaner, rise the lofty façades of residences, dominated by a church spire which extends out of the picture at the top. A flood of sunshine illuminates the sky, the spire and the upper parts of the buildings.
Signed at the lower right, Childe Hassam, 1900.
Collection of H. Wood Sullivan, New York, 1903.
