Untitled (Topaz Water Tower with Sunset)
1943

A vibrant watercolor painting depicting a dramatic sunset with streaks of pink, red, and orange clouds stretching across a blue and purple sky. In the foreground, a dark silhouette of a water tower stands to the right, overlooking a serene landscape with distant mountains and a body of water reflecting the sky's colors. Sparse vegetation and a small structure are visible near the water's edge. The painting is signed and dated 1943 in the lower right corner.
