Edward Hopper

(Sketches of a Female Portrait Busts and Male Nudes)
1899–1906

A collage of pencil sketches on paper, featuring various figures and studies. The top left sketch shows a detailed study of a human head in profile, while the top right includes a figure crouching and another standing with obscured lines. The bottom left sketch is of a person's head with a scribbled-out face, and the bottom right shows a figure drawn upside down with detailed anatomy. The center of the collage features dynamic sketches of a figure in motion, with one drawing showing a person in a flipped pose. The overall arrangement appears to be a collection of practice sketches, possibly from an artist's workbook.
