Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Medusa, Cossack, Artist at Easel, Soldiers, Man Running, Heads and Figures)
1899

A sketch page filled with various black ink drawings on a beige background. The drawings include a mix of character studies and individual elements, such as faces, figures in different poses, and hats. Notable sketches feature a man in a suit and hat, a figure in a wide-brimmed hat holding a rifle, and a swimmer in motion. Some sketches are labeled with words like "Cossack," "G. Dam," and "Medusae." The artwork has a spontaneous and rough quality, typical of a sketchbook or concept development page.
