*“Couch on the Porch” (1914), by Childe Hassam (1859-1935)*

Childe Hassam lived in New York during the winter but he went to various artist colonies in the summer.

Beginning in the 1890s he began visiting the Cos Cob art colony, in Greenwich, Conn. Later, he also stayed at Florence Griswold’s Old Lyme art colony.

The Cos Cob art colony began when one of the first American Impressionists, John Henry Twachtman, moved to a farmhouse in Greenwich in 1886.
