Edward Hopper

(Study of a Battleship and Two Chinese Junk Ships)
1892–1895

A sketch of a naval scene on lined notebook paper, featuring a large sailing ship with multiple sails on the right and a smaller steam-powered ship on the left, both on wavy seas. There are puffs of smoke or steam near the smaller ship. The drawing is incomplete and faint, with the outline of a person's head superimposed over the scene, suggesting the drawing was made on the reverse side of a sheet with another image.
