East Side Interior

Edward Hopper

National Gallery of Art

This print shows a woman sitting at a window, her upper body visible, as she rests one hand on a sewing machine. Her head is turned to the right, gazing out of the window. Her facial features are highlighted by the lighting, showing high cheekbones and an upturned nose. Her hair is styled in a loose, wavy manner, falling around her shoulders. She wears a simple, light-colored dress with short sleeves and is seating behind the sewing machine. The scene is part of an interior, with dim lighting casting shadows on the wall and the furniture. Above her hangs a decorative light fixture, and a picture frame is visible on the wall behind her. The window next to her shows part of an external architectural feature, possibly a pillar.
