Edward Hopper

(Study of a Seated Nude Painting, Rear View)
1900–1906

Sketch of a seated, nude male figure seen from the side, focusing on a task in his hands, with a faint outline of a window in the background. The drawing is rendered in soft charcoal with delicate shading and highlights, capturing the play of light and shadow on the form. The paper appears aged with slightly tattered edges.
