Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Figure Holding Chicken, Man on Sled, Two Women's Heads, Man's Head, and Bird)
1892–1895

A sketch page with various pencil drawings scattered across it. In the top left corner, there's a small portrait of a person with curly hair. Below, a figure is sledding at speed, while to the right, a man in a coat and hat appears to be walking, holding something in his hand, with a child blowing a trumpet beside him. In the bottom right, two whimsical sketches of characters are falling or dancing, with exaggerated expressions and postures. The paper's background is a warm beige, and the sketches have a loose, dynamic quality.
