Watercolor on paper by Martha Watson Sauer depicting Captain Hornblower's Restaurant formerly located at 300 Front Street. The watercolor painting shows a charming, serene street scene with a small, rustic building nestled among lush green foliage and trees. The restaurant has a distinctive, pointed roof and a welcoming porch, suggesting a warm, homely atmosphere. A woman in a pink dress walks towards a building with a white façade, which appears to be a small shop with a sign above the entrance, while a man, wearing a blue shirt and yellow shorts, walks alongside a child, both figures casting soft shadows on the ground.Artwork Details
