Edward Hopper

(Copy after Millet's Man with a Hoe: Man's Head)
1900–1907

A sketch on a piece of paper depicting a person's head and upper shoulders. The drawing is done with expressive black lines, creating a sense of depth and shadow on the face, which is turned slightly to the side. The style appears quick and gestural, with some areas densely filled in with ink, while others are left with minimal detail, suggesting the artist captured the essence of the subject rapidly.
