Edward Hopper

(Two Studies: Devil and Lunging Female Nude)
1895–1899

Sketches of two figures on a sheet of paper, with the upper figure appearing to be a male in a dynamic, arched pose, and the lower figure a female in a dynamic, forward-reaching pose. Both sketches are rough and appear to be studies of human motion or posture. There are faint lines and additional sketch marks around the figures, indicating an artist's process work. The paper has a slightly yellowed background, suggesting age.
