Edward Hopper

(Study of a Clown at the Circus)
1895–1899

A sketch on tan paper depicting a jovial, rotund man wearing a party hat, a polka-dotted shirt, and baggy trousers. He appears to be in mid-stride with a cheerful expression on his face. In the background, there are faint outlines of a park setting with figures of people and a dog, suggesting a leisurely outdoor scene.
