Edward Hopper

(Studies of Hands)
c. 1905–1906

A painting depicting three separate, incomplete studies of a horse in motion against a dark background. Each study captures a different pose of the horse's legs and torso, emphasizing the dynamics of movement. The brushwork is loose and expressive, with a limited color palette focusing on the contrast between the light tones of the horse's body and the dark surroundings.
