Edward Hopper

(Study of a Seated Man with Long Jacket)
1899–1906

A sketch of a seated man in profile view, with the figure appearing contemplative or focused. The drawing is rendered in light pencil strokes on aged, slightly yellowed paper, with some creases and tears along the edges. The man is wearing a coat and pants, and his hands are lightly sketched, resting on his lap or the arm of the chair. The chair's details are faint, suggesting the artist's focus was on capturing the likeness and posture of the subject.
