Edward Hopper

Illustration for Emerson Low, "The Man Who Had Been Away," Scribner's Magazine, 77 (May 1925)
1925

A charcoal drawing depicting a dramatic scene with three figures: a person lying on a bed, another standing over them wielding a club, and a third figure observing from the background. The setting appears to be a dark room with a vase on a shelf to the right. The artwork conveys a sense of tension and potential violence.
