Edward Hopper

(Jo Seated)
c. 1935

A watercolor painting depicting a seated woman in a contemplative pose, wearing a sleeveless white top and a striped skirt. She rests on a wooden chair with a dark blue and green shawl draped over one side. Her right hand holds a book on her lap, and she gazes downward with a thoughtful expression. The artwork is rendered with loose, expressive brushstrokes, capturing the play of light and shadow on her figure and the surrounding space.
