Edward Hopper

(Satan and Devils)
c. 1900

A sketch on a beige paper featuring a central figure resembling a devil with horns, holding a trident and sitting on a throne, flanked by two smaller devilish creatures. Below are five separate sketches of bones and two of human figures in dynamic poses, one of which is wielding a sword. The style is loose and expressive, with an emphasis on line work.
