Edward Hopper

(Anatomical Sketches of Skulls, Arm, Upper Body, and Lower Legs)
1899–1906

A sketchbook page with various anatomical studies, including detailed drawings of a human arm showing muscles and tendons, a frontal view of a skull, and side profiles of a skull with jawbone details. The sketches are rendered in pencil with varying degrees of detail and shading. The paper appears aged, indicating the drawings may be historical or from an artist's study collection.
