Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Sailboats, Men's Heads, and Horses)
1895–1899

A sheet of paper filled with various black ink sketches including abstract shapes, a profile of a face, and what appear to be studies of boats and their reflections on water. The sketches are loosely arranged with no particular composition, suggesting they are exploratory drawings or doodles. The paper has an aged, yellowish tint.
