Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Standing Woman, and Men's and Women's Heads)
1895–1899

A sketch on tan paper featuring a prominent figure of a woman standing in profile with an elaborate hairstyle and a flowing dress. Surrounding her are various loosely drawn faces expressing different emotions and angles, suggesting the artist's exploration of human features and expressions. The artwork has a spontaneous and unfinished quality, with visible paper edges.
