Edward Hopper

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

Detailed pencil drawing of a male figure seen from the back, with a focus on musculature and anatomy. The figure is standing upright with hands clasped behind his back. To the right, there are smaller sketches of a skull in profile, a pelvis, and a leg bone, suggesting an academic study of human anatomy. The paper appears aged with some discoloration.
