Edward Hopper

Study of a Forest Landscape with Figure by the Shore)
1900–1906

A monochromatic sketch depicting a solitary figure in a wintry forest clearing, with tall, bare trees surrounding a shadowy area that suggests a frozen pond or river. The figure appears to be walking cautiously on the snow-covered ground, and the rough, expressive lines convey a sense of cold and solitude. The edges of the paper are uneven, adding to the artwork's rustic charm.
