Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Sentry, Cobra, and Figures)
1892–1895

A sheet of paper featuring a collection of various black ink sketches. There is a figure in a coat and top hat holding a whip, a profile of a seated man, a snake, and several rough sketches of figures in different poses, including one at a desk and another in a contemplative stance. An empty square is drawn at the bottom right corner. The background is beige, and the sketches appear to be quick, gestural drawings.
