Edward Hopper

(Study of a Couple on a River Bank)
1915–1918

A pencil sketch depicting a person sitting on the ground, leaning against a bag, with their hand on their chin in a contemplative pose. The figure is situated on the side of a rural road with sparse trees and shrubs in the background, and a flat landscape stretching into the distance where figures and buildings can be faintly seen. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
