Edward Hopper

Study for Rooms for Tourists
1945

A sketch on paper featuring various architectural elements and urban scenes, with annotations and notes possibly indicating color or material suggestions like "light green," "warm dark green," and "terra brown." The drawing includes a detailed classical columned structure on the left, a simplified streetscape with buildings in the center, and a tall, narrow structure on the right. The artist's strokes are loose and expressive, suggesting the sketch is a preliminary design or concept.
