Edward Hopper

(Study of Two Men Captured by Jungle Tribe)
1892–1895

A vintage sketch depicting a group of caricatured figures, possibly in a theatrical or comical setting, with exaggerated features and costumes. They appear to be on a beach or tropical setting with palm trees in the background. The sun or moon is visible in the sky, and there are various objects scattered on the ground in the foreground, including a drum, bones, and what looks like a shield. The figures are holding props such as spears and musical instruments, suggesting a scene from a play or a satirical illustration.
