Edward Hopper

(Study of a Large Sailboat at Sea)
1892–1895

A pencil sketch of an old-fashioned steamship with sails on a beige paper. The ship features multiple decks with portholes, two large masts with sails, and smokestacks, indicating a combination of wind and steam power. The drawing exhibits a level of detail and shading that suggests it may have been done by an experienced artist or an enthusiastic amateur.
