Edward Hopper

(Cobb's Barns and Distant Houses)
1930–1933

A pastoral landscape painting featuring a white house with a red roof in the distance, surrounded by lush green fields and rolling hills. In the foreground, two large red barns with dark roofs dominate the scene, casting shadows on the golden field below. The brushwork is loose and expressive, suggesting a warm, breezy day in the countryside.
