Hudson House

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a large white building with a brown roof, identified as the Hudson House by the sign on a pole to the right. The building has a long rectangular structure on the left with a garage-like opening and several windows. To the right, a smaller white building with a porch and stairs leads to a balcony. A third white building with a brown roof is situated to the right. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage with a black canopy is being pulled by a dark horse. A second horse-drawn carriage, pulled by two light-colored horses, is on the left. People are standing around the carriages and in front of the buildings. A white picket fence surrounds trees and bushes to the right. The sky above is gray with yellow and orange clouds.
