Edward Hopper

(Waiter and Diners)
1906–1907

Illustration of a bustling cafe scene with patrons in early 20th-century attire. Men and women are seated at tables, some conversing, while a waiter in a white apron attends to a couple. The women wear large hats and the men are in suits, with one sporting a top hat. The artwork has a sketched quality with splashes of color, primarily in shades of black, gray, and blue, with the paper showing signs of age around the edges.
