Edward Hopper

(Study of a Seated Woman in Floral Hat)
1899–1906

Sketch of a seated woman in profile, resting her chin on her hand, with a detailed rendering of her head and upper body, while the lower body and chair are only lightly outlined. She appears contemplative or pensive, wearing a dress with a fitted bodice and a voluminous skirt, and her hair is styled up. The background is blank, emphasizing the figure.
