The Audition, East Hampton depicts female figures reading from scripts in Hassam's garden in East Hampton, a favorite subject and place of inspiration for Hassam. Hassam devoted many paintings to the theme of leisure and often featured young women in repose or social activity.
During the early 1900s, Childe Hassam and his wife Maude began to make frequent visits to stay with friends Harry and Gwendolyn Pomroy who were residents of Wainscott, Long Island. The picturesque scenes and the daily life of Long Island inspired Hassam to create many wonderful paintings of coastal scenes and village life.
Eventually Hassam and his wife purchased an eighteenth-century shingled house on Egypt Lane in East Hampton which they warmly referred to as Willow Bend. From 1920 to 1934 Hassam worked at Willow Bend every summer from mid-May to early November.
This painting will be included in Stuart P. Feld's and Kathleen M. Burnside's forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist's work.
