Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Soldiers, King , Man in Tuxedo and Top Hat, Boats, and Crab)
1895–1899

A collection of whimsical black ink sketches on a cream-colored paper, featuring a variety of characters and objects. The drawings include a figure in colonial attire holding a long rifle, a crab, a Viking-like character, a man bowing with a sword, and several abstract shapes. The sketches are loosely arranged with no apparent connection, suggesting a page from an artist's brainstorming session.
