Edward Hopper

(Study of a Gathering Outside a Building)
1900–1906

A charcoal sketch on textured paper depicting an intimate scene with two figures in a bed, framed by the dark outlines of a room with windows. The drawing is rough and impressionistic, with the forms of the figures and the room's details suggested rather than fully defined. The artwork conveys a sense of privacy and quietude.
