Edward Hopper

(Street Corner)
1923–1924

Watercolor painting depicting a sunny residential street scene with traditional American houses. The foreground features a white house with a green door and a porch, while a utility pole stands at the street corner. In the background, there are more houses with visible architectural details like gabled roofs and chimneys, painted in shades of blue, yellow, and brown. The street is quiet with no visible people or vehicles, and the sky is a clear blue, suggesting a calm, bright day.
