Edward Hopper

(Study of Monster and Bats in Foggy Landscape)
1895–1899

A sketch on tan paper depicting a fantastical scene with a large, muscular goblin-like creature sitting in the foreground. The creature has prominent ears, a furrowed brow, and is resting its chin on one hand. In the background, there are abstract representations of birds in flight and a submarine-like object on the horizon, all drawn with expressive, dynamic lines.
