Edward Hopper

Study for House by a Road
1940

A charcoal drawing of a two-story house with a gabled roof and multiple chimneys. The house appears aged and slightly weathered, surrounded by a landscape of overgrown grass and trees. The sky is lightly sketched, suggesting an overcast day. There are signatures at the bottom right corner of the drawing.
