Edward Hopper

[Woman in Chair]
1915–1918

A sketch of a seated woman viewed from behind, resting her head on her hand, with her elbow propped on the back of a wooden chair. The artwork is monochromatic and appears to be an etching or a drypoint, with visible hatching and cross-hatching lines creating shading and texture. The paper has a rough edge, suggesting it may be a print on high-quality, possibly hand-made paper.
