Edward Hopper

(Study of Chef Holding Pot and Sketches of Pot and Hands)
1899–1906

A sketch on aged paper depicting a seated figure in a chef's hat and uniform, holding a large cylindrical object to their ear as if listening to it. The figure appears relaxed and contemplative. There are additional sketches of a hat, a cylindrical object, and a hand on the same sheet, suggesting an artist's study or draft work.
