Edward Hopper

Study for Morning in a City
1944

A sketch on tan paper featuring a rough outline of a person standing to the left with their head turned as if looking at something out of frame. The background is loosely defined with vertical and horizontal lines suggesting an interior space with windows or frames. The drawing is expressive with dynamic strokes, conveying a sense of movement or a fleeting moment captured by the artist.
