Edward Hopper

(Seated Woman in Skirt and Head Scarf)
1899–1906

Sketch of a seated figure, possibly a woman, with indistinct features and a flowing dress, rendered in loose, expressive pencil strokes on a sheet of paper that shows signs of age. The figure is seated on a bench or platform, with a hint of a reflection or shadow beneath. To the right, there are additional sketchy lines and a rough depiction of a bird in flight.
