Edward Hopper

Samson and Delilah
1899–1906

Sketch on aged paper depicting a dynamic scene with multiple figures, possibly in a struggle or dance. A central muscular figure stands out prominently, while other figures appear to be in various poses of movement or interaction. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom. The drawing is rough and expressive, with visible lines and shading that suggest motion and depth.
