Edward Hopper

Study for Conference at Night
1949

Sketch on tan paper depicting three figures in a room with classical architectural elements, including columns and beams. Two of the figures appear to be engaged in conversation while the third is seated, facing away from the viewer. The drawing is rendered with loose, expressive lines, suggesting an unfinished study or a moment captured in time.
