Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Heads and Figures in Uniform)
1899–1906

A sketch on tan paper featuring a series of quick, expressive drawings. The largest figure is a man in profile wearing a hat and coat, looking downward. Other sketches include a side view of a person's head wearing a hat, a cyclist in motion, and a small group of people engaged in conversation. The lines are loose and gestural, capturing the essence of the subjects with minimal detail.
