Edward Hopper

(Road and Houses, South Truro)
1930–1933

A painting depicting a rural landscape with rolling hills in the background and a cluster of buildings in the foreground. The buildings include a white house with a dark roof and a chimney, a stone structure, and a barn. A tall, slender pole stands prominently in the left foreground. The scene is bathed in warm sunlight, casting soft shadows and highlighting the contours of the hills. The sky is a clear blue with a hint of gradient near the horizon.
