Edward Hopper

(Study of a Woman with Binoculars in Skipper's Cap and Scarf)
1895–1899

A sketch of a woman in vintage attire, wearing a beret and a trench coat, holding a pair of binoculars and a book or pamphlet. She appears to be in a thoughtful pose, with a slight puff of breath visible, indicating cold weather. The drawing is done in black ink on tan paper, with some areas left intentionally blank, giving it an unfinished look.
