Edward Hopper

(Sketches of a Lion, Camel with Mount, Country Road with House, Large Sailboat, and Soldier with Spiked Helmet)
1892–1895

A sheet of paper featuring multiple pencil sketches. In the top left, there's a detailed drawing of a lion with the caption "THE KING OF BEASTS" beneath it. To the right, a rough sketch depicts a figure seated at a high desk or podium. Below the lion, there's a dynamic sketch of a person riding a horse, and to the right of this, a landscape scene with a house and trees is visible. The bottom right corner contains an abstract sketch with geometric shapes. The paper has a yellowish tint, suggesting age.
