Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Men Shooting Guns and Soldier in Uniform)
1895–1899

A sketch page featuring various figures and partial drawings. At the top left, there's a detailed sketch of a person in historical military uniform standing at attention. To the right, there are incomplete sketches of legs and a saw-like object. Below, two sketches of figures in action poses aiming handguns are depicted, with the lower figure wearing a hat and coat, suggesting a detective or gangster-like appearance. The background is an off-white paper, and the sketches are done in black ink.
