Edward Hopper

(Rocky Projection at the Sea)
1916–1919

Oil painting depicting a rugged cliffside with a dynamic blue sky. The cliff is rendered with thick, expressive brushstrokes in dark tones, contrasting with the lighter, smoother strokes of the sky. The palette consists of blues, greens, oranges, and earthy browns, suggesting a natural, outdoor scene.
