![Childe Hassam - An Outdoor Portrait of Miss Weir [1909]](http://farm1.staticflickr.com/751/20994852020_5576eceb2b_o.jpg)
Childe Hassam saw himself as an American artist seeking to invest Impressionism with an American spirit. Throughout his life, he depicted places and structures of local significance and often painted people he knew. An Outdoor Portrait of Miss Weir not only documents Hassam's mature Impressionist style, it also testifies to his longstanding friendship with fellow American Impressionist J. Alden Weir, as it depicts one of Weir's three daughters.
