Edward Hopper

(Study of a Horse-Drawn Carriage and Townhouses)
c. 1900

A monochromatic illustration depicting a horse-drawn carriage on a city street. The driver, wearing a top hat, sits atop the carriage, holding the reins. The horse appears in mid-stride, and several pedestrians are visible in the background near classical-style buildings with large windows. The artwork has a sketch-like quality with dynamic strokes and shading, conveying movement and a bustling urban atmosphere.
