1. Medium: Watercolor on paper

2. Shapes and objects: A facade of a building with three windows and a balcony. The building appears to be in a Mediterranean or Southern European style. There are flower boxes under two of the windows and on the balcony, filled with colorful flowers. A decorative grate or window is visible above the central window. The bottom of the image shows some green foliage, suggesting plants or bushes at the base of the building.

3. Colours: The building is painted in a warm yellow ochre. The windows and balcony railings are brown. The flowers in the boxes are depicted with touches of red, white, and green. The foliage at the bottom is in various shades of green. The background or sky is left as the white of the paper.

4. Narrative: This painting captures the charm of a traditional European building, likely in a warm climate. The flower boxes add a touch of life and color to the facade, suggesting that the inhabitants take pride in their home and enjoy bringing nature into their urban setting. The style of the building, with its decorative elements and balcony, evokes a sense of history and cultural richness. Overall, the scene conveys a feeling of warmth, both in temperature and in the welcoming atmosphere of the home.

5. Original Artist: While this is an original work by Mehrdad Fahimi, the style and subject matter are reminiscent of the architectural paintings of American artist Edward Hopper, known for his depictions of urban scenes. However, the Mediterranean feel and the use of watercolor also bring to mind the work of British artist John Singer Sargent, particularly his watercolors of European architecture.

A comparable work might be Sargent's watercolors of Venice, though Fahimi's painting has its own unique elements and a more focused, intimate view of a single building facade. Sargent's watercolors can be found in various museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

While Fahimi's painting is clearly his own, it blends influences from both American Realism and European watercolor traditions, creating a scene that feels both familiar and freshly observed. The painting continues the tradition of finding beauty in everyday architectural details and the way people personalize their living spaces.
