Edward Hopper

Study for Pennsylvania Coal Town
1947

A sketch on tan paper featuring two rough storyboard panels with simple line drawings. The top panel shows a figure standing on a sidewalk with tall vertical elements, possibly buildings, in the background. The bottom panel depicts a similar scene with the figure walking and more detail on the buildings and sidewalk. There are marks outside the panels, suggesting they are part of a planning process.
