Edward Hopper

(Ferry Slip)
c. 1904–1906

A monochromatic painting depicting an urban landscape at night, with a focus on dark tones and contrasting white highlights that suggest streetlights reflecting on water. The scene includes buildings with a central tower structure in the background and a bridge-like element in the foreground. The brushwork is expressive, adding a sense of movement to the water's surface.
