Edward Hopper

(Study of Two Sailors on a Ship's Deck)
1895–1899

A vintage ink sketch depicts two men standing by a body of water, possibly a lake or river. The man on the left, sporting a beard and a hat, is gesturing towards the horizon, while the man on the right, also wearing a hat, looks on attentively, holding a cane. In the foreground, there are two pairs of shoes and a couple of barrels, suggesting they may have removed their shoes to wade or relax by the water's edge. The background features a simple outline of a distant shoreline.
