Edward Hopper

Study for Bridle Path
1939

A sketch on paper featuring two separate scenes, one above the other. The upper sketch shows a group of horseback riders in a hilly landscape with a bridge in the background. The lower sketch depicts the same bridge from a different angle with a single rider in the foreground. Both sketches are rendered in a loose, expressive style with visible strokes and shading, signed by Edward Hopper.
