Edward Hopper

(Three Studies: Soldiers Sieging a Burning Town, Soldier on Camel, and Soldier on Horseback)
1895–1899

A sketch on a beige paper featuring three separate scenes: on the top left, a figure appears to be floating or leaping with a sword raised high; on the top right, a rider on a horse is depicted in motion with a lasso; and on the bottom, a landscape shows a group of figures crossing a bridge towards a building with a tower, while a large, dark tornado looms in the background. The drawing style is loose and expressive, with an emphasis on movement.
