L'île de Shoals reflète l'un des thèmes les plus personnels et les plus récurrents dans la carrière de Childe Hassam, restant dans la collection privée de l'artiste pendant vingt ans. Hassam visita pour la première fois les îles de Shoals en 1884, y retournant régulièrement jusqu'en 1915, et la beauté sauvage de ce petit archipel au large du golfe du Maine devint une source d'inspiration centrale tout au long de sa vie. La lumière changeante, les fleurs sauvages éparpillées et les eaux cristallines lui ont offert une source constante de poésie visuelle, et les îles sont devenues le décor de nombre de ses paysages et scènes côtières les plus lumineux et les plus célèbres.





Des vues similaires des îles Shoals font désormais partie des collections permanentes du Metropolitan Museum of Art, de la National Gallery of Art et du Dallas Museum of Art, soulignant l'importance de ce thème dans l'œuvre de Hassam. L'importance de cet ensemble d'œuvres a été confirmée en 2016 lorsque le Peabody Essex Museum a organisé une grande exposition entièrement consacrée à ses peintures des Shoals.





Dans The Isle of Shoals, Hassam capture la lumière claire du nord et la splendeur tranquille de la côte rocheuse, présentant une scène qui reflète à la fois la sérénité des îles et le lien profond qui unit l'artiste à celles-ci.
