Edward Hopper

(Dome)
c. 1907

A charcoal sketch on aged paper depicting a scene with a prominent dome-topped building in the background, possibly a capitol or a church, with a bridge in the foreground spanning over a body of water. The sketch is detailed with shading that suggests the time of day might be either dawn or dusk, casting shadows on the architecture and the bridge. The edges of the paper are rough, indicating it may be a torn sheet from a larger pad.
