Edward Hopper

(Two Studies: Seated Female Nude with Shoes and Seated Female Nude Bending to Put On Shoes)
1920–1925

A sketch on aged paper featuring two studies of a seated figure in ballet shoes, with the head resting in the hands, as if in a state of exhaustion or contemplation. The upper sketch shows the figure from the front, while the lower sketch presents a side view. The drawings are rendered with expressive, gestural lines.
