Edward Hopper

(Study of a Skyline with Onion Domes at Sunset)
1899–1906

A sketch on a piece of paper depicting a sunset or sunrise behind a silhouette of a cityscape with prominent buildings or towers. The sun is partially obscured by the horizon, casting a warm glow on the sky and reflecting on the water below. In the foreground, there appears to be a bridge over the water and some scattered papers or debris. The drawing is executed with heavy black lines and shading, with the sun and its reflection in a contrasting reddish hue.
