Edward Hopper

(Cobb's Barns and Distant Houses)
1931

A watercolor painting depicting a rural landscape with rolling hills in the background and a cluster of farm buildings in the foreground. The barns are painted in shades of red and brown with white roofs, contrasting with the greenery and the distant houses painted in white and blue. The edges of the canvas are visible, showing the raw, unpainted borders and the perforations where it was likely attached to a frame or easel.
