Edward Hopper

(Study of Figures Swimming in a Pond by Cabin)
1895–1899

A sketch on tan paper depicting a leisurely scene with three people swimming in the foreground, their heads visible above the water. In the background, there's a shoreline with figures strolling by a small building, trees, and what appears to be smoke or steam rising into the air. The drawing is done with loose, expressive lines.
