Edward Hopper

The Balcony
1928

A black and white sketch depicting two individuals seated on a bench in a room with classical architectural details, including a balustrade and large windows. The scene is rendered with expressive lines and shading, conveying a sense of depth and texture. The individuals appear to be in contemplation or waiting, with one person's head resting on their hand. The artwork has a rough, textured border indicative of a printmaking process.
