Edward Hopper

Study for August in the City
1945

Sketch on tan paper featuring rough outlines of architectural elements, possibly a columned structure like a building or monument, with a curved line suggesting a street or pathway in the foreground. The drawing is suggestive rather than detailed, with emphasis on geometric shapes and perspective.
