Edward Hopper

(Sailboat at Dock)
c. 1904–1906

A dark, moody painting depicting a small boat on a body of water, possibly at night. The scene is framed by what appears to be a window, with the horizon line cutting across the middle panes. The brushwork is loose and expressive, with the boat being the brightest element against the predominantly dark palette.
