Edward Hopper

(Study of a Naval Battle)
1895–1899

A sketch on tan paper depicting a dynamic and somewhat exaggerated industrial scene with a large smokestack emitting smoke, surrounded by various machinery and smaller figures of people. The perspective is angled upward, giving a sense of scale and activity. The drawing style is loose and expressive, with visible lines and hatching to convey shadows and textures.
