The subject of the painting is a large tower. The scene is struck by low, angular evening light. In the foreground below the tower are two small shadowy figures reminiscent of those in future works by Salvador Dalí. This painting is the most famous example of the tower theme which appears in several of de Chirico’s works.
Though the painting is dated 1911, this date is generally held in question. It has been speculated by the Museum of Modern Art in New York that it was created from 1912 to 1913 while the Annenberg School for Communication suggests 1913-14.
