Edward Hopper

Study for The Sheridan Theatre
1936–1937

A rough charcoal sketch on tan paper depicting what appears to be the interior of a room or a structure with horizontal lines suggesting walls or panels, and a darker silhouette that could represent a figure or object in the center. The drawing is suggestive rather than detailed, with some areas more heavily shaded than others, and the artist's strokes are visible throughout.
