Edward Hopper

(Study of a Sailboat at Sea)
1895–1899

A sketch of a sailboat with its sails fully raised, gliding through water with waves indicated by horizontal lines. The drawing is done in a loose, expressive style with visible pen strokes, and there are a few abstract cloud shapes to the left of the sailboat, suggesting a breezy day. The image is on a beige background with a rough texture, possibly indicating aged paper.
