Edward Hopper

Study for Dawn in Pennsylvania
1942

A charcoal drawing depicting an industrial scene with buildings, possibly a factory, with a large dark area at the top suggesting a roof or overhang. The structures have visible windows and there's a sense of depth created by the shading. The foreground is dominated by a wide, empty street or open space, and there are hints of a vehicle or machinery to the left. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
