Edward Hopper

(Study of a City Street with Horse-Drawn Cab and Crowd)
1906–1907

A sketch depicting a bustling street scene from a bygone era. The drawing, done in charcoal, shows a group of people in period attire, including hats and long coats, gathered around a horse. Buildings with visible windows line the narrow street, and the artwork has a rough, textured appearance with visible paper edges, suggesting it may be an older piece.
