Edward Hopper

(Study of Woman Riding Bicycle Downhill)
1899–1906

A sketch on tan paper depicting a figure riding a bicycle at speed, illustrated with dynamic, sketchy lines. The rider, wearing a hat and a suit, appears to be pedaling hard, as indicated by the cloud of dust behind the bicycle. The background is minimal, with a suggestion of a landscape and a sailboat in the distance. The artist's signature, "E. Hopper," is visible in the lower right corner.
