An etching by Edward Hopper, 'The Locomotive' depicts a steam engine with figures standing nearby. The print showcases Hopper's interest in urban life and American architecture.
Edward Hopper (1882-1967) was an American realist painter and printmaker. While he is widely known for his oil paintings, Hopper was also a prolific printmaker, particularly in the early stages of his career. He produced over 70 etchings, most of which were created between 1915 and 1923. These prints often explore themes of urban life, isolation, and the stark beauty of American architecture, which would become hallmarks of his later paintings. Hopper abandoned etching around 1928, focusing primarily on painting for the remainder of his career. His prints, however, offer a valuable insight into the development of his artistic vision. 'The Locomotive' is an etching that depicts a large steam engine dominating the composition. The locomotive is rendered with close attention to its mechanical details, from the wheels and pistons to the smokestack and various fittings. The locomotive's imposing size contrasts with the smaller figures of people standing nearby, perhaps railway workers or passengers. The scene is set against a backdrop of buildings, suggesting an urban or industrial environment. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, typical of Hopper's style.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Walked New York at night peering into lit windows, married his model, and painted a diner with no door that became the most reproduced American painting.
