Edward Hopper

(Study of a Pianist)
1899–1906

Sketch of a man seated at a piano, viewed from the side. The man appears focused on the music sheets in front of him, with his hands positioned over the piano keys. The drawing is rendered in soft pencil strokes on aged paper, with some smudging and sketch lines visible, giving it an unfinished, dynamic quality.
