Edward Hopper

(Study for Etching, La Barriere)
1915–1918

A sketch on paper depicting three figures, possibly soldiers, in a rough, red chalk outline. One figure stands prominently in the center with a hat, while the other two are seated or crouching, engaged in an activity. The background is lightly sketched, suggesting a barren landscape. The artist's signature, "Edward Hopper," is visible in the bottom right corner.
