The Water Garden is a 1909 painting by the American Impressionist painter Childe Hassam. Done in oil on canvas, the painting is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Description

The painting depicts a vivacious patch of flowers set on a flat field of grass.[1] This seemingly flat plain is pockmarked with shallow ponds that have been grown-over with aquatic plants. The painting has been noted for being heavily inflected on by post-impressionist artistic thought. According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's description of the painting, Hassam's work was likely painted in East Hampton, where the artist spent his final years.[2]
