Edward Hopper

(Two Studies: Woman in Hat and Dress and Man at Desk from Behind)
1899–1906

A sketch on aged paper depicting a woman in profile wearing a long dress and a hat, standing to the left. To the right, there's a partial sketch of a seated person facing away, possibly drawing or writing at a desk. The background contains faint outlines of other figures and shapes, suggesting an artist's preliminary work or practice strokes.
