Edward Hopper

(Study of a Female Nude on Window Balcony in Paris)
c. 1907

A monochromatic sketch on aged paper depicting a figure standing in a doorway on a balcony. The scene is rendered with loose, expressive strokes, primarily in shades of black and gray, suggesting an urban environment with architectural elements. The figure appears contemplative or observing. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom left corner.
