Edward Hopper

Study for Cape Cod Evening
1939

Pencil sketch depicting two individuals and a dog outside a Victorian-style house with ornate columns. A woman stands upright with her arms crossed while a man sits on the porch steps, both gazing into the distance. A large, windswept tree and a dense forest form the background. The drawing includes grid lines, suggesting it may be a preparatory work for a larger piece. Artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
