Edward Hopper

(Study of a Battle Scene with Soldiers, Cannons, and Horses)
1892–1895

A sketch on a cream-colored paper depicting a rural landscape scene with scattered trees, a few horse-drawn carriages, and figures that appear to be walking or standing. The background features rolling hills with clouds sketched above, and there is a flag on a pole atop one of the hills. The drawing is executed in a loose, gestural style with visible pencil strokes.
