Chop Suey (1929) by Edward Hopper pays particular attention to the effects of light in the scene, and similar to Nighthawks, there is an element of loneliness as each figure seems isolated and withdrawn from the others. It depicts two women seated at a table inside a second floor Chinese restaurant, with another couple in the background, and an obscured lighted sign viewable outside the window. The painting also suggests sensory experience beyond simply viewing the scene, the feeling of warm sunlight coming through the window, restaurant noises of plates and conversations, the buzzing of the sign, the taste of the tea and the smell of cigarette smoke.
