Edward Hopper

(Study of Men in Sled Pursued by Wolves)
1895–1899

A sketch on tan paper depicting two dogs in motion on the left, with one appearing to bark or snarl, and two human figures on the right, one of whom is seated and aiming a gun, with smoke indicating a shot fired. The scene conveys a sense of dynamic action, possibly a hunting scenario. The drawing is rendered in loose, expressive lines.
