American Gothic is a 1930 painting created by American artist Grant Wood. The painting depicts a real Carpenter Gothic-style house in Eldon, Iowa, along with "the kind of people" that Wood "fancied should live in that house."[1] The imaginary father-and-daughter duo (often erroneously assumed to be husband and wife) are depicted standing in front of the house. The father, wearing denim coveralls and a black coat, holds a pitchfork while looking toward the viewer, while his somber-faced daughter, clad in a brown dress and black blouse, casts a sidelong glance at him.
