Edward Hopper

(Holdup)
1906–1914

A vintage black and white illustration depicting two men in an office setting. One man is seated behind a desk cluttered with papers, a model house, and a telephone, looking surprised at the other man. The standing man, wearing a hat and overcoat, is pointing a handgun at the seated man. Heavy curtains frame the scene, suggesting a private, possibly tense moment.
