High Noon is a 1949 oil painting by the American Realist artist Edward Hopper, created in 1949.

The work depicts a woman standing and staring outward from the doorway of a home, with the sun casting a split shadow over the home.

A half-dressed woman stands at the front door, apparently waiting for someone or something.

On the other hand, the light gives the impression of detachment: the white walls contrast sharply with the blue sky and the red chimney and foundation of the house, and in this light the woman is illuminated like if focused by a spotlight.

Her dressing gown is not wrapped, which gives an almost complete picture of her nakedness, and the verticals of the dressing gown and its opening correspond to the verticals of the doorway and the door and the gap in the curtains by the window above.
