Edward Hopper

(Two Studies: Woman in Shadows and Woman in Profile)
1899–1906

A sketch on aged paper featuring a prominent figure in a dark cloak and hat, shielding their eyes with their hand, as if peering into the distance. To the right, a faintly drawn profile of another figure's head is visible, and there are light outlines suggesting an unfinished background or additional elements. The artwork has a mix of completed and draft elements, with the central figure being the most detailed part.
