Edward Hopper

(Two Studies: Ship Towed by Tugboat and Steamship)
1892–1895

Pencil sketches of two ships on a beige paper. The top sketch shows a side view of a large ocean liner with multiple decks and funnels, sailing to the right. The bottom sketch depicts a side view of a smaller steamboat with a prominent smokestack, moving to the left. Both sketches are detailed, capturing the essence of early 20th-century maritime vessels.
