Edward Hopper

Study for New York Movie
1939

A vintage sketch on aged paper depicting two separate studies of a woman's attire. The upper part of the image shows a pair of feet in black shoes beneath the hem of a dark skirt. Below, a more detailed drawing captures a woman from the waist down, wearing a long, flowing dress and holding a pair of gloves in her left hand. The artwork is rendered in soft charcoal, with a focus on the drapery and form of the clothing. There are a few small brownish stains on the paper.
