Charles Demuth

Trees and Tower, Bermuda
c. 1916–1917

A watercolor painting on paper depicting a faint, dreamlike landscape with buildings, possibly a village. The colors are muted with soft washes of blue, brown, and green, and the outlines of structures and foliage are lightly sketched, giving the scene an ethereal quality. The paper itself has a warm, aged tone.
