The Shadow 

"The Shadow" by Mark Beck, a 20th-century artist, is a painting that captures the essence of a tranquil waterfront scene. Three houses, rendered in muted hues of blue and pink, stand in a row along the edge of a body of water. The shadows cast by the houses, elongated and reaching toward the viewer, create a sense of mystery and depth. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow brings the scene to life, inviting the viewer to contemplate the stillness of the moment.
