Edward Hopper

(Three Studies: Two Boxers and Wildcat)
1899–1906

A vintage sketch on a beige background featuring the word "Art" in gothic lettering at the top. Below the text, there's a dynamic drawing of a lion's head in the upper left corner, seemingly roaring or emerging from the edge of the paper. In the center, a muscular, shirtless boxer with gloves is depicted in a fighting stance, and to the right, a smaller figure of a boy also wearing boxing gloves appears to be engaging with the boxer. The artwork has a rough, sketch-like quality with visible ink lines and strokes.
