Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Figures, Heads, Faces, Legs, and Helmets)
1895–1899

A sketch on a beige paper featuring a series of drawings that appear to depict the motion of a person throwing something. The main figure is drawn multiple times in various stages of the throwing action, with some sketches focusing on the details of the head and arm. The sketches are loosely rendered in black ink, capturing the dynamic movement and gestures of the figure.
