Edward Hopper

(Sketches of a Soldier with Raised Sword, Soldier with Backpack, Soldier's Head, Legs and Shoes)
1895–1899

A sketch on paper featuring a central figure of a man in a tricorn hat holding a sword aloft. To the left, there are two butterfly outlines, and to the right, a disembodied pair of legs wearing sandals is suspended in the air. Below the central figure are two sketched faces, one looking forward and the other in profile. The drawing has a loose, unfinished quality with visible pencil lines and blank spaces.
