Edward Hopper

(Study of an American Battleship and Ships at Sea)
1895–1899

A hand-drawn sketch of a naval scene featuring a large battleship with the name "York" on its side, emitting smoke from its stacks. In the foreground, a smaller boat is visible on choppy waters. In the background, there are silhouettes of other ships and buildings, possibly indicating a harbor. The drawing is done on beige paper with ink, and the style is loose and expressive with an emphasis on the outlines and movement of the smoke and water.
