Edward Hopper

(Ballerina)
1900

Pencil sketch of a ballerina in a dynamic pose, with one arm gracefully arched above her head and the other holding the edge of her tutu. The drawing captures the movement of her skirt and the elegance of her stance on one leg, with the other extended behind her. The paper shows signs of age with slightly tattered edges and a yellowish tint.
