Brooding House 1954

Paul Baker Remmey's 1954 watercolor painting, "Brooding House," depicts a large, three-story brick house with a distinctive mansard roof. The house is rendered in a muted palette of browns, yellows, and blues, creating a sense of quiet solitude. The deep shadows cast across the facade and the bare branches of the trees suggest a late afternoon or early evening setting. The artist's signature, "Paul Remmey 54," is visible in the lower right corner. Remmey was known for his evocative depictions of urban landscapes and architecture.
