Edward Hopper

(Study of a Woman's Head in Profile)
1899–1906

A pen and ink sketch on aged paper depicting the profile of a woman with her hair up in a bun. The drawing features expressive line work and shading, with a concentration of cross-hatching in the background to the right of the subject, creating a sense of depth. The paper shows signs of wear with slightly torn edges.
