Edward Hopper

(Standing Nude)
1902–1904

A painting depicting a classical scene with a partially draped female figure seen from behind, standing next to a spear, set against a dark, indistinct background. The figure's pose suggests a contemplative or waiting stance, and the painting style is loose and expressive, with a focus on the play of light and shadow on the form.
