Edward Hopper

(Boat Deck)
1926

This is a watercolor painting depicting an urban scene with construction elements in the foreground. A large yellow pole dominates the center, with a red fire hydrant and various pipes nearby. In the background, there's a sketch of a building with a classical facade, possibly a fountain or monument, and other architectural structures. The painting is done in a loose, impressionistic style with visible brush strokes and areas of unpainted paper. The artist's signature is in the bottom right corner.
