Edward Hopper

(Study of a Boy Drawing)
1892–1895

Pencil sketch of a person intently drawing or writing on a small pad or piece of paper. The individual is depicted in profile with a focus on the hand holding the pen or pencil, capturing a moment of concentration and creativity. The paper has a rough top edge, suggesting it may be a page torn from a sketchbook or notepad.
