Edward Hopper

(Beer Drinking Burgher)
1907–1910

Illustration of a caricatured man with a large yellow hat, resembling a lampshade, sitting on a chair with his legs depicted as bloody, raw meat. Below the chair is a drawing of a coffee pot, creating the illusion that the man's legs are the pot's steam. The background is a plain, aged paper.
