Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Man Pointing, Man in Hat, Man Bending, and Men's Heads)
1895–1899

A sheet of paper featuring a collection of black ink sketches. The drawings include various figures and faces in different poses and expressions, such as a man pointing, a figure bending over, and several profile views of heads. The sketches appear to be quick studies or character designs, with some lines and shapes that suggest movement or positioning. The paper has a rough edge on the left side, indicating it may have been torn from a larger piece.
