Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Six Men's Heads, Ship, and Sphere)
1899–1906

A sketchbook page featuring a collection of pencil-drawn studies of human faces and heads, some with more detail than others. On the left side, there are faint outlines of a head and a square, while the right side shows more refined sketches, including profiles and frontal views of male faces, as well as a geometric representation of a head and a small sketch of a sphere next to a circle. The paper appears aged and the sketches vary in shading and completion.
