Galerie Mont Cape Cod Evening – Edward Hopper^ Hopper

Hopper’s Cape Cod Evening depicts a quiet, slightly melancholy scene of a late afternoon on Cape Cod. It shows two people and a dog in front of a white house. The woman is standing on the porch with her arms crossed, her gaze seemingly lost in the void, while the man is sitting on the floor, leaning forward, apparently absorbed in something on the ground. The dog, between them, is looking in the opposite direction and seems attentive to something outside the frame.

The dark blue sky contrasts with the soft colours of the house and grass, adding a contemplative atmosphere to the scene. As is often the case in Hopper’s realistic works, the figures seem isolated from each other despite their proximity, each lost in thought. This painting captures individual loneliness and emotional distance, frequent themes in Hopper’s work.
