Edward Hopper

Study for South Carolina Morning
1955

A rough pencil sketch on aged paper depicting an interior scene with a figure standing in a doorway, facing a room with perspective lines drawing the eye towards the back wall. The sketch is dynamic with many overlapping lines and scribbles, suggesting a quick capture of the scene or an early stage of a composition study.
