Edward Hopper

Study for Conference at Night
1949

A charcoal sketch depicting three figures, possibly in a theatrical setting, with two individuals facing a third who is seated. The background suggests an interior space with strong linear elements, possibly curtains or architectural features, and the floor has sketchy horizontal lines. The figures are rendered with expressive strokes, emphasizing their form and posture.
