people in the sun edward hopperEdward Hopper's People in the Sun depicts a peaceful, sunny scene with five figures relaxing outside. The figures are sitting on wooden chairs enjoying the warmth of the sun. To the left, a man is reading a newspaper, while the four figures in front of him gaze forward at the landscape.
