Edward Hopper

(Three Studies: Man on Horseback, Gendarme, and Man's in Helmet)
1906–1907

A vintage-looking sketch on aged, tan paper featuring three separate drawings: on the left, a full-body sketch of a man wearing a coat and a top hat; in the upper right, a profile portrait of a man with a prominent nose and wearing a helmet with a plume; and in the lower right, a detailed sketch of a horse and rider, where the rider appears to be wearing a military uniform and a peaked cap. The sketches are dynamic, with expressive lines suggesting movement and character.
