Edward Hopper

(Study of a Leprechaun Smoking)
1895–1899

A hand-drawn caricature of an elderly man with a long beard, wearing a top hat, a coat, and boots. He is smoking a pipe, with smoke puffing out, and holding a walking stick with a fish hanging from the end. The background is plain with a single cloud drawn in the upper left corner, and the paper shows signs of age with some discoloration and spots.
