This picture represent a woman in her house who look forward the window. I think she look forward the window everday at the same moments because, her husband is an U.S. soldier and he went to France for the second world war, and the woman hopes to see again her husband after the war. But the war is finished, her husband has still not returned and nobody told to her some news about her husband.

biography
Edward Hopper 1882-1967, American painter and engraver, b. Nyack, N.Y., studied in New York City with Robert Henri . Hopper lived in France for a year but was little influenced by the artistic currents there. His early paintings had slight success; he gained a reputation, however, through his etchings, which remain popular. The first one-man show of his paintings was held in 1920. Hopper excelled in creating realistic pictures of clear-cut, sunlit streets and houses, often without figures. In his paintings there is a frequent atmosphere of loneliness, an almost menacing starkness, and a clear sense of time of day or night. His work in oil and watercolor is slowly and carefully painted, with light and shade used for pattern rather than for modeling. Hopper is represented in many leading American museums. Early Sunday Morning (1930; Whitney Museum, N.Y.C.) and Nighthawks (1942; Art Institute of Chicago) are characteristic oils.
