According to Burnside this is likely an early illustration by Hassam.
Known as an American Impressionist, Hassam began as an illustrator before moving to Paris to pursue a formal art education at the Académie Julian. As one of the group of Ten American Painters, Hassam devoted himself to exploring painting techniques influenced by the avant-garde style of the Impressionist Salon de Refusés artists, notably Manet and Whistler, who were in full swing in Paris during the 1860s and 1870s. He then brought this experience back to the States where he became the foremost American Impressionist painter.
