Childe Hassam

(Broad Curtain)
1918

A sepia-toned print depicting a person seated in an armchair, engrossed in reading a book. The scene is set in a cozy interior space with a large window draped with heavy curtains, through which light streams in, casting shadows. A potted plant sits on a sill, adding a touch of nature to the room. The artwork has a vintage feel, with the artist's signature and the year 1918 visible in the lower left corner.
