Edward Hopper

Study for New York Movie
1939

A sketch of a woman standing in profile, looking down at a piece of paper she is holding in her right hand. She appears contemplative or focused, with her left hand raised to her chin. The drawing is rendered in charcoal with some smudging to create shading and depth, and there are a few spots of blue and brown discoloration on the paper. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom right.
