Edward Hopper

Sketch for Etching
1915–1918

A pencil sketch on paper depicting a woman standing in front of a window, seen from behind. She is gazing out at a cityscape with buildings in the distance. The drawing is detailed around the window frame and the woman's figure, with lighter strokes suggesting the surrounding room and the scene outside. There is a handwritten note at the bottom right that says "Study for etching Edward Hopper."
