Edward Hopper

(Study of Man and Creature in Graveyard)
1899–1906

Ink sketch on aged paper depicting a man in profile walking to the right with a confident stride, wearing a hat and a coat. In the background, a small figure appears to be standing on a rock, and a simple representation of the sun sits low on the horizon. The drawing is characterized by dynamic, expressive lines and minimal detail, conveying a sense of movement and environment with economy of strokes.
