NOTE:
The present lot is similar to several other small-scale grisaille works that Hassam executed (mostly on paper) during 1892-1893, which depict the buildings and environs of the World's Fair in Chicago during that time. These works were often populated with figures moving around the grounds of the fair, as seen here. One such comparable work, "View at the World's Columbian Exposition", is owned by the Terra Foundation for American Art in Chicago, Illinois.
This lot will be included in Stuart P. Feld's and Kathleen M. Burnside's forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of the artist's work. We would like to thank Kathleen M. Burnside for her assistance with cataloguing this lot.
