Edward Hopper

(Study of a Woman Seated on the Balustrade of a Bridge)
c. 1900

A monochromatic painting depicting a figure standing on a bridge with balustrades, overlooking two large archways beneath. The background features dark, impressionistic trees and a hint of sky, while the foreground shows a shadowy area that could represent water or a dark field. The artwork has a rough, sketch-like quality with visible brushstrokes and a limited color palette primarily consisting of black, white, and brown tones.
