Edward Hopper

(Study of Two Female Figures)
1899–1906

A sketch on aged, lined paper featuring a whimsical character with exaggerated facial features, including large ears and a wide grin. The character has lines indicating movement or excitement, and there's an incomplete sketch of a second figure's profile in the foreground. The paper shows signs of wear with a torn bottom left corner and a creased upper portion.
