Edward Hopper

(Female Nude, Head and Torso in Profile View)
1920–1925

A sketch of a person in profile view, drawn with red and brown lines on a textured, beige paper. The figure's features are delicately outlined, showing the contours of the face, neck, and a portion of the shoulder. The artwork captures a sense of movement in the hair and a soft expression on the face.
