Edward Hopper

Study for First Row Orchestra
1951

A sketch on tan paper featuring an impressionistic scene with vertical lines suggesting trees on the left and a window with curtains on the right. In the foreground, there appears to be a figure seated in a chair, draped in a patterned blanket or garment. The drawing is loosely defined with dynamic, expressive pencil strokes.
