Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Man's Head and Torso, Arms, and Legs)
1899–1906

A sketch on paper featuring two studies of a human figure: on the left, a person is depicted in a bent-over position with their back to the viewer, and on the right, a side profile of a person with their arm extended outward. The drawing is rendered in soft pencil or charcoal with visible strokes and shading, capturing the movement and form of the human body.
