Edward Hopper

(Study of a Young Musician with Lute)
1899–1906

A detailed pen sketch on aged paper depicting a side profile of a person playing a guitar. The figure is wearing a hat and a jacket with a high collar, and appears to be standing confidently while strumming the instrument. The top right corner of the paper is torn, and there are some light scribbles and a small sketch of a sailboat in the background.
