About this work

This painting shows a city from above, with rows of buildings in warm reds, yellows, and browns. The rooftops are close together, and you can see chimneys and small patches of green plants. In the distance, a river runs along the bottom of a hill with a few tall spires and towers. The artist painted from a high spot, looking down at their own neighborhood. The colors feel soft and a little faded, like a quiet afternoon. Next, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
