Edward Hopper

The Balcony
1928

A black and white etching depicting two individuals seated on a bench in a room with classical architectural details. The person on the left is facing away, wearing a hat and coat, while the person on the right is resting their head on their hand, appearing contemplative. A fireplace with a decorative mantel and unlit candles is visible in the background. The scene conveys a quiet, introspective atmosphere.
