Monhegan Island
1916–1919

A sketch on paper depicting a rocky landscape with a few sparse plants. The drawing is done with expressive lines and shading, capturing the rough texture of the rocks and the delicate forms of the plants. In the lower right corner, there is a signature that reads "Edward Hopper Monhegan Island." The paper has slightly frayed edges, suggesting age.
