Edward Hopper

(River and Buildings)
1907

Impressionistic painting depicting a tranquil riverside scene with two prominent trees in the foreground framing a view of a river with a hint of buildings on the far shore under a vast, overcast sky. The brushwork is loose and expressive, suggesting the fleeting quality of light and atmosphere.
