Edward Hopper

(Study of a Ship and Figures on Beach)
1892–1895

A pencil sketch on lined paper depicting a sailboat with its sails partially down, anchored near a shore. A small group of figures is visible on the beach to the right, suggesting a scene of maritime activity or leisure. The drawing is rendered with loose, expressive lines, and there are faint clouds sketched into the sky, adding to the tranquil maritime atmosphere.
