Edward Hopper

Study for The Martha McKeen of Wellfleet
1944

Pencil sketch of a sailboat with large sails on open water, with a single figure visible on the boat. The horizon is faintly drawn with clouds sketched above, and another smaller boat is visible in the background to the left. The drawing features expressive, gestural lines suggesting movement of water and wind.
