Edward Hopper

(Seated Man with Standing Figure)
1903–1906

Oil painting depicting a seated man in a white shirt and dark pants, appearing contemplative or tired, with his head resting on his hand. Behind him, a faint, ghostly figure of a woman seems to be in motion, adding a dynamic and somewhat eerie element to the scene. The background is dark, focusing attention on the two figures.
