專家說明

Edward Everett Bartlett built the home depicted in the present work in East Hampton in 1914. According to his granddaughter, Bartlett himself designed the garden, importing pillars from Italy and installing a version of Frederick MacMonnies' sculpture Pan of Rohallion. Childe Hassam, whose studio was nearby in East Hampton, visited the garden and, impressed by the landscape architecture, asked to paint the verdant splendor. Edward Everett Bartlett's granddaughter recalled Hassam's visits in a letter written to the catalogue raisonné committee circa 1982, "As I remember he was doing the side where there was an arbor. His arrivals were fun to watch out the window upstairs in the house. His valet brought his paints, an umbrella, a lap robe, a folding chair--that's all I remember--and waited till he wanted to go home."

This work will be included in Stuart P. Feld's and Kathleen M. Burnside's forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist's work.
