Edward Hopper

(Two Reclining Female Nudes)
1920–1925

A sketch on aged paper featuring two figures drawn with red chalk. The upper figure is reclining with one arm extended and the other bent at the elbow, while the lower figure is seated with knees drawn up and hands resting on the legs. Both figures are depicted with minimal detail and appear to be female. The lines are expressive, suggesting the artist's focus on form and posture.
