"Across the Room," also known as "By the Window" or "Leisure Hour," is a notable painting by the American Impressionist artist Edmund Charles Tarbell. Created in 1899, this work exemplifies Tarbell's mastery in capturing the subtleties of light and atmosphere, hallmarks of the American Impressionist movement. The painting portrays a serene domestic scene, featuring a woman seated by a window, engrossed in her reading. The composition is characterized by its delicate interplay of light and shadow, which Tarbell skillfully employs to evoke a sense of tranquility and introspection.

The subject of the painting, a woman in a white dress, is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, highlighting Tarbell's ability to depict the textures and nuances of fabric and skin. The soft, diffused light streaming through the window bathes the room in a warm glow, creating a peaceful and intimate ambiance. This use of natural light not only enhances the realism of the scene but also underscores the influence of French Impressionism on Tarbell's work.

"Across the Room" reflects Tarbell's interest in capturing everyday moments of quiet contemplation and leisure, themes that were central to his oeuvre. The painting is also indicative of the broader cultural and artistic trends of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which saw a growing appreciation for the beauty of ordinary life and the fleeting effects of light and color.

Edmund Charles Tarbell was a prominent figure in the Boston School of painting, a group of artists known for their refined technique and emphasis on beauty and harmony. His work, including "Across the Room," continues to be celebrated for its elegance, technical proficiency, and ability to convey the subtleties of human experience. The painting remains an important example of American Impressionism and is held in high regard by art historians and enthusiasts alike.
