Edward Hopper

(Two Studies: Sailboat at Sea and Male Figures)
c.1900–1910

A sketch on tan paper depicting a person reclining in a small sailboat that is tilting dramatically to one side in the water. Two onlookers are sketched at the bottom of the image, one facing towards the boat and the other looking away with their back to the viewer. The drawing is executed with expressive, quick lines, suggesting a spontaneous or impromptu creation.
