Edward Hopper

(Two Studies: Battle Scene and Cavalry Pursuing Soldier)
1895–1899

A sketch on aged paper featuring a central figure on horseback, possibly a soldier, with a sword extended forward. To the right, a group of people is depicted in a flurry of lines, suggesting movement or chaos. In the lower left corner, there is a separate sketch of a person with a distinctive hairstyle, looking downward with a somber expression. The drawing is executed with quick, expressive lines, and the paper has a torn edge along the top.
