The painting is done in Hassam's signature form of impressionism, and covers one of his favorite subjects; normally-crowded hubs of activity during the wintertime.{{Cite web|title=Winter in Union Square|url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/16881|access-date=2018-09-04|website=www.metmuseum.org}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.theartstory.org/artist-hassam-childe-artworks.htm|title=Childe Hassam Most Important Art {{!}} TheArtStory|work=The Art Story|access-date=2018-09-04|language=en-US}}
