Edward Hopper

Study for Corn Belt City
1946–1947

A sketch on tan paper featuring two separate scenes divided by a horizontal line. The top sketch shows a figure standing near a door in a minimalistic landscape, with a cloud in the background and a structure to the right. The bottom sketch is more abstract, with dark, scribbled lines suggesting a landscape with structures and possibly trees. Handwritten text at the bottom appears to be a signature or note from the artist.
