Edward Hopper

Study for Hotel Lobby
1942

A sketch on tan paper featuring a room with two people sitting opposite each other, with a piano between them. The room has two framed pictures on the wall and curtains on the left. Below the main sketch are smaller, rougher studies of a window with curtains and what appears to be a basket or piece of furniture. The drawing has a loose, gestural quality, with visible construction lines and shading.
