Edward Hopper

(Bell Tower)
1923–1924

A watercolor painting depicting an urban scene with a variety of buildings, including a prominent clock tower with a blue clock face, a red building with multiple windows, and a beige structure with a dark roof. The scene is void of people and vehicles, suggesting a quiet moment in the city. The painting style captures the play of light and shadow, with loose brushstrokes and a muted color palette, giving the artwork a serene and somewhat nostalgic atmosphere.
