Edward Hopper

(Three Studies: Skating Pond Scene, Danger Sign, and Man with Hat in Profile)
1892–1895

Sketch on tan paper featuring three figures in what appears to be a winter scene. The main figure is a person ice skating energetically with a scarf flowing behind, while a second, smaller figure skates in the background. A third figure is drawn horizontally across the bottom, seemingly lying on the ice. In the background, there are faint outlines of buildings and people, with a "Danger" sign also sketched in. The drawing has a rough, unfinished quality, with visible pencil strokes and shading.
