Edward Hopper

(Study of a Hillside Landscape with Trees)
c. 1936–1938

A charcoal sketch on paper depicting a row of trees with dense foliage. The artist uses dynamic, expressive strokes to convey the texture of the leaves and the shadows beneath the trees. The perspective suggests a view from a slight elevation looking down on a path or road that curves around the trees. The signature "Edwardo H. Mffn" is visible at the bottom right corner.
