Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Firemen, Man in Top Hat and Coat, Dogs, Horse, and Sailboat)
1892–1895

A sketch on aged paper featuring a central scene with a steam train and several figures around it, some in motion, and others standing still. There are also individual sketches of dogs, a person walking away, and tents. The drawing style is loose and expressive, suggesting an early stage of conceptual artwork.
