Edward Hopper

(Sketches of a Toreador, Bent Leg, and Heads)
1899–1906

A sketch of a person in profile wearing a hat, with a dark shadow cast over their face. The background features faint, ghostly images of a hand, a face, and a chair, giving the composition an ethereal and unfinished appearance. The artwork has a vintage or aged look, with the paper showing signs of wear and discoloration.
