Edward Hopper

(Two Studies: Wooded Landscape and Balustrade)
n.d.

A pencil sketch depicting a tranquil forest scene with tall, slender trees. The foreground shows part of a balustrade with a decorative element, suggesting the viewpoint might be from a porch or a similar structure. The sketch is lightly drawn, with some tree trunks and foliage details more defined than others, conveying a sense of depth. There is handwritten text at the bottom left corner that appears to say "20 steam boats."
