Edward Hopper

Evening, The Seine (Zigrosser 37; Hopper 13)

1915

This 1923 etching captures the Seine at dusk with Hopper's characteristic spare compositional style and dramatic use of light and shadow. The print demonstrates his mastery of the etching medium through bold linear marks and carefully controlled tonal gradations that convey the atmospheric qualities of twilight along the riverbank. The work reflects Hopper's deep engagement with the French landscape during his formative years in Paris, translating observed scenes into moody, introspective imagery.
