Edward Hopper

(Light at Two Lights)
1927

A watercolor painting depicting a sunny day with a large white cylindrical structure, possibly a silo, towering over a small building with a blue-striped facade. A tree with green foliage is on the left, casting shadows on the grass, and there are hints of other vegetation in the foreground. The sky is painted in a light blue wash, suggesting a clear day.
