The Red House, Late Snow 1907 - 1908

"The Red House, Late Snow" is a 1907-1908 painting by Belgian artist Rik Wouters. The painting depicts a red brick house on a corner lot, with a bright yellow door that contrasts starkly with the red brick. The street scene is rendered with a loose, impressionistic style, with visible brushstrokes creating a sense of movement and depth. The inclusion of figures in the street, along with the title, suggests that the scene is meant to be a snapshot of daily life in a small town, highlighting the artist's interest in depicting ordinary moments with a bold and expressive aesthetic.
