Edward Hopper

(Two Studies: Standing Male Nude with Arm Raised and Artist Painting at Easel)
1899–1906

A sketch on a beige paper featuring a detailed drawing of a muscular male figure in a dynamic pose with one hand raised to his forehead as if shielding his eyes from the sun. Below him, a smaller figure of an artist is depicted in the act of painting on a canvas, with a palette and brushes in hand. The artist appears to be observing the larger figure intently, capturing the essence of the pose. The drawing exhibits a study of human anatomy and perspective.
