Edward Hopper

Study for 5 A.M.
1937

A sketch on a piece of yellowed paper, featuring two separate scenes. The top sketch shows a landscape with elongated clouds or sky patterns, a structure in the distance, and what appears to be a body of water with objects or boats. The bottom sketch is more minimalistic, depicting a single plant or flower next to a window or framed area. The drawing style is loose and expressive, suggesting the images are preliminary concepts or ideas.
