Edward Hopper

(Study of a Woman in Hat and Dress, Rear View)
1899–1906

A sketch of a woman standing in profile view, wearing a long skirt and a jacket with a hat, holding what appears to be a cane or umbrella. The artwork is rendered in a loose, impressionistic style with monochromatic tones, primarily in black and gray washes on a cream-colored paper. There is a small, faint sketch of a sailboat in the upper right corner, separate from the main figure.
