This work depicts the beauty of the seascape and harbor of Appledore Island on the east coast of the United States. The painting depicts a view of the seascape. Hassam focused on the rocky cliffs and coastal features on Appledore Island. The landscape depicted has a wild and untouched atmosphere, which was typical of many of his subjects. The sea plays a key role in the image. Hassam has perfectly captured the various shades of blue and green that make up the sea surface. The sea is shown in motion, creating the impression of perpetual motion and change. Hassam's impressionistic style is evident in his ability to capture light and atmosphere. Sunlight is visible on water and rocks, creating a bright and vibrant display. You can see the distant coastline in the image, which adds depth and perspective to the composition. This background is depicted with loose brush strokes, which promotes the impression of distance.

Childe Hassam (1859-1935) was an American Impressionist painter, for whom characteristic scenes are urban - Rainy Day in Boston, and coastal - South Ladges scenery. He was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts. His father was an average merchant but an above-average art collector. It is no wonder, then, that Hassam soon showed a love for art. However, he was also an excellent athlete. He excelled in boxing and swimming. He did not finish his studies at the university due to a devastating fire in Boston, which destroyed his father’s business. He found a job with the publisher Little, Brown & Company, where he created designs for letterheads and newspapers. In 1883, he travelled with his friend Edmund H. Garrett to Europe, where he studied the Old Masters of Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Italy etc. The works of William Turner especially fascinated him. On this journey, he created 67 watercolours, which became the basis of his second exhibition in 1884. He lived alternately in Europe and America, where he taught at art schools and painted. He was a member of the Impressionist group The Ten. In the last years of his life, he travelled around the United States. He died in East Hampton in 1935, aged 75, and his works are recognizable by the crescent brand, which he added to his signature.
