L'œuvre en bref

Morning Sun depicts a woman sitting on a bed, looking out of the open window of a flat room. Morning sunlight streams into the room, illuminating the walls and floor and casting soft shadows. The colour palette consists of pastel shades, with shades of green, blue, pink and yellow, creating a serene and bright atmosphere. The contrasts between the light and shadowed areas emphasise the presence of natural light.

The realistic composition focuses on the simple geometric shapes of the furniture and architectural elements, as well as on the woman's silhouette. Meticulous details, such as the folds of clothing and the textures of surfaces, add realism to the scene. Hopper delicately captures the intimacy of an everyday moment, while evoking contemplation and solitude. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the relationship between the indoor and outdoor environment and how natural light shapes our perception of time and space.
