Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Men in Hats, Heads in Various Positions, Pistol and Sabre)
1895–1899

A sketch-filled page with various black ink drawings on a tan background. The sketches include a mix of human figures, faces in profile, and individual body parts like hands and feet. Some sketches are more detailed, showing a full figure of a person standing with a hat and coat, while others are quick outlines or gestures. Words "Silenc" and "Idle Silence" are written among the sketches, suggesting a theme or concept for the drawings.
