Edward Hopper

American Village
1912

A painting depicting an aerial view of a street scene with buildings on either side, vehicles, and a few pedestrians. The color palette is dominated by muted blues and greens, with touches of red on the rooftops and yellow on one of the buildings to the left. The brushwork suggests an impressionistic style, and the scene conveys a sense of quiet urban life.
