Edward Hopper

(Seated Female Nude)
1920–1925

A sanguine drawing on paper depicting a seated nude female figure in profile view, with her head turned to the left, her hair styled up, and her arms resting along her body. The artwork has a warm, reddish tone and shows detailed shading and contouring to define the figure's form. The background is plain, accentuating the subject, and there is a signature or notation in the lower right corner.
