Edward Hopper

Rocks and Sand
1916

An impressionistic painting depicting a rugged coastline with jagged rocks in shades of brown and orange against a sandy beach. The sea is visible in the background with gentle waves, under a sky with subtle gradations of blue. The brushstrokes are thick and expressive, conveying a sense of movement and the natural textures of the landscape.
