Edward Hopper

(Standing Female Nude)
1900–1906

Pencil sketch of a standing female figure with draped fabric, possibly a study for a classical or allegorical painting. The figure is partially nude, with her right arm crossing her body and her left arm raised slightly, suggesting a pose of modesty or contemplation. The drawing is detailed with soft shading and fine lines, capturing the contours of the body and the folds of the fabric. The background is lightly sketched, focusing attention on the figure.
