Edward Hopper

(Study of Jo Hopper Seated)
c. 1945–1950

A pencil sketch of a person viewed from the side, focusing on the profile of their face and the upper part of their body. The person appears to be gazing downward with a contemplative expression, and their hair is swept back. The artwork is detailed, with shading that gives depth to the figure's features and clothing. There is a signature at the bottom left corner of the drawing.
