Edward Hopper

(Study of a Man Leaning Against a Wall)
1899

A pen and ink drawing of a man in profile wearing a hat and overcoat, standing and leaning against a wall with his hands in his pockets. The artwork has a sketch-like quality with visible hatching and cross-hatching lines, and there's a signature at the bottom right corner. The paper appears aged with a yellowish tint.
