Edward Hopper

Study for Shakespeare at Dusk
1935

Sketch of a park scene with a statue on a pedestal, surrounded by trees and foliage. The drawing is done in a loose, gestural style with visible pencil strokes, and the paper shows signs of wear with a torn left edge. Shadows suggest a light source coming from the left, casting the statue and trees into relief.
