Edward Hopper

Study for Margharita Derfelden, "The Buddha", Scribner's Magazine, 74, August 1923, p. 207
1923

A black and white sketch depicts three individuals in a room with a window. The central figure, facing away from the viewer, is holding a large, bulky item. To the right, a person with a headscarf is looking on, partially obscured by a vertical element, possibly a door frame. The setting suggests an intimate, indoor scene, possibly from an earlier time period, given the style of clothing and simplicity of the room. The artist's signature, "E. Hopper," is visible in the lower right corner.
