Edward Hopper

On My Roof
1915–1918

A sketch of a rooftop scene with various chimneys and a small structure, possibly a shed, in the center. The drawing is done in a loose, linear style, capturing the architectural details and shadows of the urban environment. The paper appears aged, with the image centered and a signature at the bottom right.
