The foreground and background are depicted with broad brushstrokes and a vibrant palette of blues, greens, and pinks, characteristic of the Impressionist style. The signature "Gass" is visible in the upper left corner of the painting. The painting is an oil on illustration board, given the visible brushwork and overall texture.

American Impressionist Artist New Hope School
Edna Gass was a distinguished American Impressionist artist best known for her evocative figural works and her association with the New Hope Art Colony in Pennsylvania during the 1940s. A Philadelphia native, Gass developed a unique artistic voice within the New Hope School, a movement celebrated for its vibrant depictions of local landscapes and expressive, light-filled compositions.
Her work is often described as “diminutive Impressionism,” capturing intimate moments with broad, spontaneous brushstrokes and a masterful use of color and light. In addition to traditional painting, Gass explored innovative techniques such as monotype printing—creating one-of-a-kind images by painting on a polished plate and transferring the design to paper. This process added a distinctive texture and depth to her art.
Gass’s legacy continues to resonate through her contributions to American Impressionism and her role in shaping the artistic identity of the New Hope School.
The New Hope School of Pennsylvania Impressionists is an artistic movement that flourished in the early 20th century in New Hope, Pennsylvania, and was known for its depictions of the local landscape and figurative paintings in the Impressionist style.
The painting showcases a focus on capturing light and color, characteristic of Impressionism. The figures are depicted with broad brushstrokes, suggesting a spontaneous and expressive approach, while the landscape provides a vibrant backdrop
