Edward Hopper

Study for Bridle Path
1939

A pencil sketch on paper depicting a rough landscape with annotations. The drawing includes outlines of trees and rocks with handwritten notes indicating different shades or colors such as "pale," "not pale," "red ochre," "fire ochre," and "slate." The sketch appears to be a preparatory work, capturing the artist's initial thoughts on composition and color placement.
