About this work

This is a simple watercolor of a two-story brick building. The front door is wooden with a small fanlight window above it. Two potted plants sit on either side of the door, and the windows have white frames with small panes. The roof has a small chimney and a dormer window. The artist focused on everyday details—like the door’s weathered wood and the brickwork’s texture. This was painted in 1940, capturing a quiet moment in a small building.
