Here's an answer from Chat GPT after prompting it with a detailed description of the painting/poster (of course it could be something entirely different):

Based on your detailed description, it seems like the artwork you're referring to is "Smooth and Silent" by Maxfield Parrish, not Edward Hopper. Maxfield Parrish was an American painter and illustrator known for his dreamlike and fantastical landscapes, often featuring vivid colors and imaginative scenes.

"Smooth and Silent" fits the description you provided: it features a late 1920s or early 1930s Packard automobile driving along a stream, with an American Indian rowing in a canoe alongside it. There are four passengers in the car, with two males in the front and two females in the back. The scene includes a stream and an Indian in the foreground, the car on a road in the center, and a valley with mountainous vistas in the background. An Indian village with two tepees and three grazing horses is depicted beyond the Packard in a valley before the mountains.

Maxfield Parrish's style often included elements of fantasy and romanticism, and "Smooth and Silent" captures this with its idyllic and nostalgic portrayal of American life and landscape.
