Edward Hopper

(Study of Woman in Hat)
1899–1906

A detailed pencil sketch of a person's face on aged paper, with loose, expressive lines suggesting a flame-like form above the head. The face is finely rendered with attention to shading and facial features, while the upper part of the drawing is more abstract and dynamic.
