Edward Hopper

(Kneeling Female Nude, Three-Quarter View)
1920–1925

A sanguine drawing on aged paper depicting a crouching nude figure, possibly female, with their head resting on their knee and their arms embracing the lower leg. The artwork captures a sense of melancholy or introspection through the pose and expression. The paper's edges are slightly worn, adding to the vintage feel of the piece.
