Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Two Men Pointing, Creeping Man, Victorious Athlete, and Two Men Talking)
1895–1899

A collection of black ink sketches on a beige paper featuring various characters in different poses. On the top left, a man in a trench coat points a finger gun, mirrored by a character on the top right in a dynamic pose with a rifle. Below, a figure is drawn in mid-tumble, and a dancer with feathered headdress stands poised. In the bottom right, two figures appear to be walking together, one holding a cane. The artwork has a rough, sketch-like quality with visible stroke lines, suggesting movement and character in each figure.
