Edward Hopper

(Blackhead, Monhegan)
1916–1919

Impressionistic painting depicting a rugged coastal landscape with cliffs and the sea. The cliffs are rendered in warm earth tones with strokes of green, while the ocean is captured in shades of deep blue with white highlights indicating waves. The sky above is painted with soft pastel hues, suggesting either dawn or dusk.
