Edward Hopper

(Study of Leaning Woman with One Leg Raised)
1920–1925

A sketch of a female figure in a dynamic pose, with her body leaning forward and one leg lifted behind her. The figure is drawn with soft charcoal lines, capturing the movement and form of the human body with a sense of light and shadow. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom right. The paper appears aged, adding to the artwork's vintage character.
