Edward Hopper

Study for (House on the Cape) and House by a Road
1940

A pencil sketch on paper depicting the rough outlines of a few buildings, with annotations indicating color notes such as "green upper window." The drawing features the corner of a house with visible windows and a smaller structure, possibly a shed or porch, in the foreground. The sketch is suggestive rather than detailed, capturing the essence of the architectural elements.
