Edward Hopper

(Three Studies: Ice Skater on Pond, Ice Skater Falling Through Ice, and Man in Hat)
1895–1899

A sketch page with various drawings in black ink on a beige background. The largest sketch at the top shows a figure ice skating, with a hat and a scarf, mid-motion with one leg lifted. To the right, two smaller figures appear to be standing on the ice. Below, there are several partial sketches including a profile of a head, a rough outline of a figure, and a more detailed scene with a figure skating beneath a structure, possibly a bridge, with another figure observing from the side.
