Edward Hopper

(Two Studies: Female Nude and Cat)
c. 1900–1906

A sketchbook open to a spread with two pencil figure studies by J. Carroll Beckwith, dated 1912. The left page shows a seated nude figure from behind, leaning forward with one arm resting on a knee. The right page depicts a reclining nude figure viewed from above, with the head turned away and arms folded across the chest. The paper has yellowed with age, and the artist's signature is visible on the left.
