Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Figures, Faces, and Body Parts)
1899–1906

A collage of various black ink sketches on a two-page spread, featuring numerous human figures in different poses and states of completion. Some sketches are detailed, while others are more abstract or fragmented, capturing movement or parts of the body such as faces, hands, and limbs. The artwork has a dynamic and spontaneous feel, with some figures appearing more defined and others just hinted at with a few strokes.
