Edward Hopper

Study for New York Movie (Palace theatre)

1938

Sketch of a group of people seated in rows, viewed from behind, with a focus on their backs and heads. The setting appears to be a public space, possibly a lecture hall or courtroom, with a podium and microphones visible in the foreground. The drawing is rendered in pencil with loose, expressive lines, and the artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
