Old Dutch Building, Fishkill, New York — Fine Art

A white clapboard building stands among trees and open ground. Old Dutch Building, Fishkill, New York shows a simple house shape with windows and a roof line. Childe Hassam painted this kind of American scene with quick brushwork and bright outdoor colour.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The paper stays matte so the greens and the white siding keep their soft tone without shine. The frame holds the edges flat and the back panel gives the picture a solid feel when it sits on a wall.

It fits a narrow hallway with a single bulb overhead. You notice the roof shape first, then the small window marks as you pass. The green ground stays low and the building reads clearly from the end of the hall.
