I really thought this picture by Edward Hopper captured an intense amount of loneliness, solitude, and isolation compared to many of his other paintings. In this particular painting the room in which the woman is in is extremely plain. There is nothing on the walls, the bed sheets are white, her hair is pulled back into a simple bun, and even her night gown is a single, plain color. Hopper managed to show us the solitude of urban life. The room, assuming it is an apartment, is high above the streets so this painting will show the isolation aspect. There is also not a single person, bird, cloud, family picture, or plane signifying her loneliness.
