Twenty-two Houses and a Church

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

This painting depicts a landscape view from an elevated point, showing a village of white buildings with red and white roofs atop rolling green hills. The buildings are spread throughout the painting, with one white tower with a cross to the right of center. Thin brown paths and white fences crisscross the green land between the houses. The sky is overcast with light gray and hints of blue.
