Edward Hopper

(Study of Two Seated Figures Looking Out Window)
1899–1906

Sketch of a person sitting at a table with their head resting on their hand, appearing contemplative or tired. The setting seems to be a train or bus with rows of seats and windows, indicated by rough lines and shading. The perspective is drawn from the inside looking towards the back of the vehicle, with light streaming in from the windows, casting shadows on the interior. The edges of the paper are irregular and slightly torn.
