Creation

According to Hopper, the painting was "an attempt to paint sunlight as white with almost no yellow pigment in the white", and "any psychological idea will have to be supplied by the viewer". Hopper's wife Josephine posed for both women in the picture. This was disputed by Hopper's neighbors, Marie Stephens and her adolescent daughter Kim, who argued that the young woman must have been based on one of them, citing the depicted woman's bust size. The painting was finished on September 15, 1960.[1]
