The Deciding Throw

Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Deciding Throw by Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps: A black and white drawing of four people outdoors. A young child stands on the left, wearing a white dress and head covering, and no shoes. A man sits on a rock to the right, wearing a long sleeve shirt and pants. He appears to be talking to the child on the left. A second child crouches on the ground to the right, wearing a vest and pants, with no shoes. The background shows a house with a sloped roof to the left, and a landscape with low hills and a flat area. The drawing is detailed and textured.
