Edward Hopper

(Alligator, explosion, gun, train)
c. 1897–1900

A sketch on beige paper featuring a collection of doodles: a large crocodile at the center, a man lighting a firework, a smiling cloud, a car, and a few figures in various poses. The drawings are simple and appear to be quickly done, with an emphasis on line work without shading.
