Edward Hopper

Study for 5 A.M.
1937

Sketch on a tan paper featuring two horizontal panels with abstract landscapes drawn in black charcoal. The upper panel shows a darker, more scribbled area that could represent a cloud or tree, while the lower panel includes a clearer depiction of a figure standing in a landscape with horizon lines. The drawing has rough edges and visible creases, suggesting it may be a preliminary work or study.
