Edward Hopper

(Bending Female Nude)
1920–1925

A sketch of a human figure in red pencil on a cream-colored paper, depicting a person bending forward with their head down and arms hanging towards the ground, suggesting a sense of movement or flexibility. The drawing is minimalist, focusing on the outline and form rather than detailed features. The paper shows signs of aging with slightly tattered edges.
