Edward Hopper

(Study of Two Men in a Sailboat)
1895–1899

A sketch on a cream-colored paper depicting two figures in a small boat with a tall mast. The drawing is minimalistic, with loose, expressive lines suggesting the shape of the boat and the figures without much detail. The rest of the paper is blank, emphasizing the simplicity of the composition.
