Edward Hopper

(Reclining Female Nude)
1920–1925

A charcoal sketch of a reclining female figure lying on her side with her head resting on her arm, which is bent at the elbow. The figure's other arm is draped across her torso, and her legs are slightly bent. The drawing is detailed, capturing the soft shading and contours of the body, and is set against a blank background. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
