Edward Hopper

Associated Names
Edward Hopper

Artist, American, 1882 - 1967

The image shows a partial view of a person's body, focusing on the upper torso and face. The individual appears to be sitting, leaning slightly forward, and looking out a window. Their face is in profile with features revealed by the lighting—a shadowed eye and nose—and their hair is pulled back loosely. They are seated close to the window in a dimly lit room, dressed in a simple garment with long sleeves. Around them, the room is filled with details like a bed frame and cushions. The window is prominent in the background, offering a glimpse of architectural elements outside—such as a column—and emphasizes the difference in light between the bright exterior and the shaded interior.
