Edward Hopper

Study for Hotel Lobby
1942

A sketch of a woman reclining comfortably in a chair while reading a book. She appears relaxed and focused on the content of the pages. The drawing is detailed, capturing the folds of her dress and the contours of the chair, with shading that adds depth and texture to the image.
