Edward Hopper

Study for Blackwell's Island
1928

Sketches of various buildings and architectural elements with handwritten color notes and annotations scattered throughout the page. The drawings are rendered in pencil, and the notes suggest the artist's intentions for color choices, such as "yellow green," "blue lavender," and "darker blue water." The paper appears aged, indicating the drawing may be historical or archival.
