Edward Hopper

(Jo Sketching at Good Harbor Beach)
1923–1924

A watercolor painting depicting a person sitting on a sandy beach, sketching or writing. The individual is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and casual clothing. In the background, there's a calm blue sea and a rocky outcrop with houses and a red-roofed building, possibly a lighthouse, under a light blue sky with wispy clouds. Shadows on the sand suggest a sunny day.
