Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Horse-Drawn Carriage, Soldiers at Camp Fire, and Maritime Scenes)
1892–1895

A vintage paper with a collection of pencil sketches depicting various forms of transportation. The drawings include a side view of a train, a horse-drawn carriage, a steamboat, and a tram or streetcar, all rendered in a rough, sketchy style that captures the essence of the subjects rather than detailed accuracy. The paper's aged background adds to the historical feel of the artwork.
