Edward Hopper

(Two Figures at Top of Steps in Paris)
1906

A painting depicting a staircase leading up to a classical structure with statues and columns. Silhouettes of people are visible at various points, with a clear sky in the background. The brushwork is loose and impressionistic, suggesting the scene is captured quickly or from memory.
