The Judgment of Solomon

Jules Pascin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a grayscale sketch of a scene with five people. A man wearing a crown and holding a scepter sits on the right side, facing left. He sits on what appears to be a throne. Two nude women are to his left; one sits with her right leg crossed over her left. She covers her chest with her right hand and holds the ankle of her right leg with her left hand. The other nude woman on the left side of the image appears to be crouched down; her left hand raised with the palm facing outwards. A man wearing a head covering stands behind the seated woman; both of his hands are by his sides. A second nude woman stands behind the man on the right; she faces left and holds a baby. Stairs appear to lead up to the man on the right. The background consists of a plain wall. The artist's signature appears in the bottom-right corner. The image is titled "The Judgment of Solomon" and is by Jules Pascin.
