Edward Hopper

(Boy and Moon)
1906–1907

Illustration of a person sitting on a bed with their back to the viewer, gazing out at a surreal seascape where the bedroom wall transitions seamlessly into a night sky over the ocean. The moon hangs low over the water, and birds are silhouetted against the twilight sky. The room features a wooden headboard and patterned wallpaper, with the scene evoking a dreamlike atmosphere.
