Story

Seen from above, the fairgrounds spread out in a wide composition, with pale buildings arranged among canals and open grounds, all rendered in soft, earthy tones that suggest the surrounding landscape. The piece was made in 1893 using colored pencil and watercolor. Childe Hassam (1859–1935) was an American painter associated with Impressionism, known also for his work Building the Schooner, Provincetown.
