Edward Hopper

Study for Girlie Show
1941

Sketches of three different head poses on a tan paper. The top sketch shows a profile view of a person with their head turned to the left, the middle sketch depicts a person from behind with their head slightly tilted, and the bottom sketch is a rear view of a person's head and shoulders. The drawings are done with loose, expressive lines in a dark medium, possibly charcoal or pencil.
