Edward Hopper

(Standing Male Nude with Staff, Rear View)
1900–1906

Pencil sketch on paper depicting a side profile of a standing male figure with an emphasis on anatomical structure, possibly a study for an art class or personal practice. The figure appears to be in a relaxed pose with one arm extended and the hand holding an object, possibly a staff or tool. The lines are light and gestural, suggesting the drawing is either unfinished or intended to capture the basic form and posture of the subject.
