Edward Hopper

Study for Girlie Show
1941

A sketch on tan paper featuring loose, expressive lines in charcoal or pencil, depicting what appears to be an architectural scene with a series of steps leading up to a columned structure, flanked by trees or tall plants. The drawing is suggestive rather than detailed, capturing the essence of the scene with minimal strokes.
