Edward Hopper

(Standing Female Nude and Sketches of Pelvis, Sphere, and Cylinder)
1900–1906

Pencil drawing of a standing nude female figure in profile with her head turned slightly towards the viewer, resting her chin on her hand. To the right of the figure, there are sketched elements including a cylinder, a sphere, and an insect-like creature with a scorpion-like tail. The background is blank, highlighting the detailed shading and contours of the figure and the additional elements. The paper shows signs of aging around the edges.
