The Red House 1972

Jamie Wyeth’s 1972 watercolor painting, “The Red House,” depicts a red, wooden house situated on a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean. The house, a prominent feature in the composition, appears to be a summer home or cottage, with a screened porch and an array of windows. The scene is punctuated by a flurry of seagulls flying above the house, adding a sense of motion and a connection to the seaside setting. The painting captures a moment of quiet solitude and the tranquility of a coastal landscape.
