Edward Hopper

(Three Studies: Seated Man with Large Hat, Rear View, and Two Men's Heads)
1899–1906

A sketch on aged paper featuring a person sitting on a stool in profile view, with their head bowed and obscured by a large hat. The figure is rendered in soft pencil strokes, with emphasis on the folds of the clothing and the posture of the seated individual. In the lower part of the paper, there are two smaller, less detailed sketches of a person's profile. The paper has some tattered edges and a few small tears, adding to the vintage feel of the artwork.
