Watercolor by Crawford Parker depicting a weathered, multi-story house with a complex architectural structure, rendered in varied shades of gray and blue. The house features a prominent, steeply-pitched roof and several windows, some with shutters. Adjacent to the main building is an additional structure that maintains a similar rustic style. A clear sky with light clouds forms the background, suggesting a tranquil, possibly early morning or late afternoon setting. The painting captures the play of light and shadow effectively, emphasizing the textural details of the aging wood and the architectural decay, which adds depth. The house is alleged to be a former brothel in Key West.Artwork Details
