Edward Hopper

Illustration for H. Addington Bruce, "What Trivial Doubts Can Do to You," Every Week, 4 (April 16, 1917) p.16
1917

A black and white sketch depicts a person standing on a sidewalk by a building entrance, wearing a trench coat and a hat, seemingly engaged in reading or looking at a small object in their hands. Next to the person, there is a dog on a leash, also looking in the same direction as the person. The building features decorative elements and a prominent doorway, and the scene suggests an urban setting. The artist's signature, "E. Hopper," is visible in the bottom left corner.
