Edward Hopper

(French Couple on Embankment After Albert Guillaume)
1909–1910

Two women in early 20th-century attire sit on a grassy hillside, their backs to the viewer, looking out at a landscape with industrial towers in the distance. The women's dresses and hats suggest a casual outing. The artwork, with its sketch-like quality and splashes of color, conveys a sense of a moment captured in time.
