Edward Hopper

(Study of a Boy Firing Gun)
1895–1899

Illustration of a side profile of a slender man with exaggeratedly long legs, wearing a double-breasted jacket and high boots, walking with a cane that appears to be sliding on the ground behind him. The drawing is done in a sketchy, line art style on a piece of aged paper with two holes punched at the top.
