Edward Hopper

(Three Studies: Standing Male Nude, Rear View and Two Legs)
1900–1906

A detailed charcoal drawing of a male figure from behind, with his left arm raised and right arm held behind his back. The figure is nude, showing muscular details and shading that suggests a light source from the front. To the left of the figure, there's a sketch of a draped cloth or flag, and to the right, a partial sketch of what appears to be a plant or organic form. The background is a textured, aged paper.
