Edward Hopper

(Study of a Seated Woman Styling Hair before Mirror)
c. 1900

A charcoal sketch depicts a seated figure in profile, looking contemplatively out of a window with a cross-shaped mullion. The figure's hands are clasped near the face, and the body is draped in a flowing garment, creating a sense of softness and movement. The artwork is signed in the lower right corner.
