Small Town on Cove 1923

Edward Hopper's 1923 watercolor, "Small Town on Cove", depicts a tranquil, yet somewhat isolated coastal scene. The large building in the center of the composition, likely a hotel or boarding house, dominates the landscape. Hopper's signature style of sharp lines, muted colors, and a sense of quietude, characteristic of his urban and rural American scenes, is evident. The painting evokes a feeling of stillness and solitude, capturing the quiet beauty of a small town by the sea.
