Adobes and Shed, New Mexico 1925

This watercolor painting, "Adobes and Shed, New Mexico" (1925) by American artist Edward Hopper, depicts a scene of a rustic outbuilding and a horse-drawn carriage. The muted colors and stark lines characteristic of Hopper's work create a sense of quiet solitude, reminiscent of the isolated landscapes he often favored. The painting's focus on the simple details of everyday life and the interplay of light and shadow, as well as its emphasis on the quietude of the American countryside, all reflect Hopper's signature style of American realism.
