Edward Hopper

(Sketches of a Seated Man in Hat, Female Figures, and Heads)
1899–1906

A sketch on aged paper featuring a collection of loosely drawn figures and faces. The drawings appear to be quick studies, with some figures more defined than others. There is a seated figure in the upper left, a few facial profiles in the center, and standing figures sketched at the bottom. The strokes are expressive, suggesting the artist was capturing gestures and expressions rapidly.
