Edward Hopper

(Seated Female Nude, Rear View)
1920–1925

A charcoal sketch on paper depicting a seated figure from behind, with the person's back and head turned away from the viewer. The figure's arms are not visible, suggesting they may be resting in their lap. The drawing is detailed with shading to indicate light and form, and the artist's signature, "Edward Hopper," is visible at the bottom right. The paper shows signs of age with slight discoloration and creases.
