In 1882, Childe Hassam visited Nantucket, painting a series of watercolors focused on the island's picturesque cottages and seaside. Likely painted during this trip, An Impression was included in Hassam's first ever solo exhibition, which was held at Williams & Everett Galleries of Boston that fall. This debut show earned the artist early praise, as a critic described: "The best feature about the collection is its fresh 'outdoor' feeling...Many of the subjects are quaint studies at Nantucket--bits of beach, with boats and figures; old cottages, with glimpses of sea and sky...all happily selected subjects." (as quoted in H.B. Weinberg, Childe Hassam, American Impressionist, New York, 2004, p. 356)
