From Christie's Auction Cataloge:

Apple Trees in Bloom, Old Lyme was painted in 1904 in the gardens of the home. The brushstrokes are vigorously applied with a familiarity that derives from his lengthy a ection for the motif of a blossoming fruit tree. The two apple trees in the composition are flanked by the Lieutenant River and the studio Hassam converted from a barn for his stays in Old Lyme. In a letter to J. Alden Weir, Hassam cheerfully wrote of his painting shed there, “You are all well I hope and of course you are enjoying that bully studio! You should see mine here, just the place for high thinking and low living.” (as quoted in Childe Hassam: American Impressionist, New York, 2004, p. 157)
