Edward Hopper

(Seated Female Nude)
1920–1925

A charcoal sketch on paper depicting a seated female figure with a relaxed posture, her left arm resting on her thigh and her right arm extended. The figure has shoulder-length hair and appears contemplative or introspective. The drawing is detailed with shading and contouring to define the anatomy, and the background is left blank. The paper's edges are slightly irregular, suggesting it may be a page from an artist's sketchbook.
