Edward Hopper

(Man Seated on Bed)
c. 1905–1906

A monochromatic painting depicting a shirtless person sitting on the edge of a bed, facing a window with their back to the viewer. The room is dimly lit, and the person appears contemplative or possibly despondent. A pair of shoes is discarded on the floor near the bed. The brushwork is expressive, with thick strokes of paint emphasizing the shadows and form of the figure and the surrounding room.
