Lafayette Street

Childe Hassam, 1918

This image shows an urban street scene from a slightly elevated point of view. The horizon is not visible, focusing on a portion of the street and buildings. A large American flag hangs diagonally above the street. Brushstrokes are loose and impressionistic, capturing movement and energy. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black and grey for contrast. Figures walk along the street, engaging in various activities, while the buildings and cityscape beyond are sketched in an abstract manner.
