Edward Hopper

(Seated Female Nude)
1920–1925

Pencil sketch of a seated figure with a relaxed posture, appearing to be a young person with short hair, resting on an undefined surface. The figure is depicted in profile with the left side of the body visible, and the person's right hand is placed on the hip while the left arm rests along the body. The legs are extended forward with a slight bend at the knees. The artwork has a signature at the bottom left corner. The paper shows signs of aging around the edges.
