Edward Hopper

(Study of a Man in Three-Quarter View)
1899–1906

A sketch on aged paper featuring a profile view of a man's face with sharp features, alongside two smaller studies of a human ear. The drawing is rendered in soft pencil or charcoal, with visible smudging and erasing marks, giving it a work-in-progress appearance. The paper's edges are irregular, suggesting it may have been torn from a larger sheet.
