Study for Hotel Window

1955

A sketch on tan paper depicting an interior scene with two figures: one seated at a desk on the left, seemingly engrossed in writing, and another seated on a couch to the right, reading a newspaper. The room is suggested with minimal lines indicating curtains, a window, and a lamp. The drawing is marked with various lines and crosshatches, indicating shading and depth.
