Edward Hopper

Gilded by the setting sun (Cross, Mountain Oak and Balloon)
1895–1899

A scanned image of a vintage sketch page with various pencil drawings and handwritten notes. On the left, there's a detailed sketch of a tree labeled "mountain oak," and below it, a dark, rough sketch of a cross with a note that reads "color of the cross." To the right, there's a more defined sketch of a hot air balloon with the basket detail, and the words "sketch for balloon" written beside it. The paper appears aged with a yellowish tint, and the sketches and notes are somewhat scattered across the page.
