Edward Hopper

(Study of a Large Sailboat)
1892–1895

A pencil sketch of a tall ship's mast and rigging on aged, stained paper. The drawing focuses on the central part of the mast, with detailed lines suggesting the ropes and sails. The bottom of the mast is obscured by what appears to be a structure or dock, and the surrounding area of the sketch is less detailed, giving the central image prominence.
