Edward Hopper

House on the Cape
1940

Pencil sketch of a weathered two-story house with multiple chimneys, surrounded by a barren landscape and a backdrop of trees and hills. The house appears aged and abandoned, with details like a boarded-up door and empty windows. Shadows are prominently used to give depth and texture to the scene. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
