Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Men's Heads and Sailboat)

1895–1899

A sketch page with various pencil drawings including a figure from behind with a focus on the head, a side profile with lines across the face, a front-facing character with an exaggerated facial expression, abstract lines and shapes, a rough sketch of a sailboat, and a detailed portrait of a man with a beard and headwear at the bottom. The sketches appear exploratory, with a mix of human features and gestures on a cream-colored paper.
