Edward Hopper

Study for Morning in a City
1944

A charcoal sketch on tan paper depicting a female figure seated in profile with her head turned away, possibly looking out a window. The room appears to be sparsely furnished with a bed and curtains, and the drawing includes various measurements and annotations along the bottom edge. The style is loose and expressive, with strong contrast between light and shadow.
