Recreate the ethereal beauty of The Goldfish Window, a 1916 masterpiece by Childe Hassam, with this full-coverage cross-stitch pattern. This painting, completed in Hassam’s New York studio, is one of the most successful pieces from his Windows series, which was influenced by his experiences both in Europe and at the artists' colony in Cos Cob, Connecticut. The scene features a contemplative young woman sitting in front of a large window, with a bowl of goldfish beside her. The sunlight pouring through the window backlights her figure, creating a glowing halo effect that enhances the ethereal beauty of the scene.
The model, dressed in a loose kimono, reflects the Oriental aesthetic that was popular at the time, and the blend of Oriental objects—such as the goldfish bowl—with American antiques speaks to Hassam’s roots and his connection to the Boston School of artists. The interior setting, with its furnishings and still-life elements, is contrasted by the vibrant garden visible through the window, reinforcing a mood of contemplation and a sense of both security and confinement. The contrast between the cool tones of the indoor space and the warm, sunlit garden evokes a serene, reflective atmosphere.
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures the exquisite color and light contrasts of Hassam’s painting, allowing you to stitch the delicate details of the figure, the goldfish bowl, and the surrounding furnishings. Available in regular and large print chart options, the pattern includes detailed instructions and a floss conversion chart, ensuring a smooth and fulfilling stitching experience as you recreate this stunning piece of art history.
