Edward Hopper

(Standing Female Nude, Profile View, and Sketches of Skull, Female Head, and Female Nude)
1900–1906

A sketch on aged paper featuring a detailed study of a standing human figure seen from the back, with emphasis on the musculature and form. To the right, there are two smaller sketches of human skulls, one in profile and one facing forward, along with a faint outline of a face in profile. On the left side, there is a light, abstract wavy line drawing. The artwork has a classical feel and showcases the artist's understanding of human anatomy.
