Edward Hopper

Study for Rooms for Tourists
1945

Sketch on paper featuring a series of rough architectural drawings and annotations. The drawings depict parts of buildings and a fence with varying degrees of shading and detail. Handwritten notes scattered throughout the image suggest color cues like "warm light," "pale yellow," and "green light on grass," indicating the artist's intentions for color application.
