Edward Hopper

Study for Office at Night
1940

Sketch of an interior scene with two figures, one standing near a window with curtains and the other seated at a desk, possibly writing or reading. The room features a chair, a framed picture on the wall, and a sense of depth created by the perspective lines on the floor and ceiling. The drawing is rendered in charcoal or pencil with a focus on light and shadow.
