Edward Hopper

Study for Compartment C, Car 293
1938

A sketch of an interior scene with a couch in the foreground, a window with closed blinds on the left, and a lamp on a stand to the right. The drawing is done in a loose, expressive style with visible strokes and shading in what appears to be charcoal or pencil. There are scribbles that resemble signatures on the couch and in the upper right corner of the image.
