Evening at the Lock, Napanoch, New York

A red brick house with a white-trimmed roof stands on the left bank of a calm canal, its reflection rippling in the water. Opposite, moored boats and dense summer trees sit beneath a pale, rosy evening sky, painted in loose, feathery brushwork.

Look closer: A small figure or boat detail is hard to pick out in the shadowed trees at the right; a faint signature appears at the lower right.
