Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Heads in Profile, Sculptural Portrait Bust, and Female Nude)
1899–1906

A sketch on aged paper featuring a variety of drawings: a profile of a man's head in pencil at the top left, a detailed sketch of a black man's head below it, a red pencil sketch of a classical bust at the bottom left, a faint full-body sketch of a figure to the right, and a more dynamic pencil sketch of a figure in a hat with flowing lines suggesting movement at the bottom right. Random pencil marks and smudges are scattered across the page.
