Edward Hopper

(Study of a Couple in Conversation)
1899–1906

A sketch on tan paper featuring two figures in early 20th-century attire walking side by side. The figure on the left appears to be a man wearing a hat, a jacket with a handkerchief in the pocket, and holding a book or small box. The figure on the right, likely a woman, is wearing a dress with a fitted waist and a large hat adorned with a feather. Both figures are drawn with quick, expressive lines suggesting movement.
