Old Tower at Avignon is a 1875 oil by Samuel Colman, a american_impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting shows a tall, old tower in the center. It's made of light brown stone and has a square shape with a flat top. The tower is on the edge of a river, with a small boat floating in the water. The sky above is gray and cloudy. The tower is surrounded by other buildings, but they're not as tall or prominent. The whole scene feels quiet and peaceful, like a still moment in time.
