Edward Hopper

(Painting Class)
1903–1906

A dark, moody oil painting depicting a figure in a white shirt and dark pants leaning over a table or surface, with their back turned to the viewer. The setting appears to be dimly lit, with indistinct shapes and objects in the background, creating an atmosphere of mystery or contemplation. The brushwork is loose and expressive, suggesting movement or the fleeting nature of the moment captured.
