Spring trees in pale leaf frame the white marble of the Washington Square Arch in New York, designed by Stanford White, with a street sweeper, carriages and strollers on lower Fifth Avenue. Hassam had returned from Paris in 1889 and settled near the square, and he painted the arch and the avenue in every season. This view is in the Phillips Collection, Washington.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — dark wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.
