Edward Hopper

Study for Hotel Lobby
1942

A charcoal sketch depicting an interior scene with three figures. One person is seated on the left, leaning forward with their hand on their chin, while another stands in the center, facing the seated figure. A third person is seated on the right, in profile, appearing contemplative. The room features classical architectural details such as columns and a fireplace, with a mirror hanging on the wall. The drawing is marked with the numbers "144X56" at the bottom right.
