Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Man in Coat with Briefcase, Man with Gun, Male Figures and Heads, and Devils)
1895–1899

A sketch on beige paper featuring a collection of loosely drawn figures and faces. Two prominent figures appear to be men in hats and overcoats, one facing away and the other walking towards the viewer. Surrounding these figures are various fragmented sketches of faces, hats, and partial bodies, all rendered in a quick, expressive line style.
