Men Drinking at a Table [verso] c. 1927

This sketch, titled "Men Drinking at a Table [verso]," is a quick study by George Overbury "Pop" Hart, an American illustrator and painter known for his witty and often humorous depictions of everyday life. The loose, gestural lines and the informal composition suggest the work was likely created as a personal study, perhaps from life. The scene depicts four men, likely friends, gathered around a table, enjoying themselves. Hart's characteristic style is evident in the simple, yet expressive lines, capturing the essence of the subject with minimal detail. The addition of a small dog adds a touch of charm to the scene, further emphasizing the casual and intimate atmosphere.
