Sketch of Anatomical Sculpture (recto) Sketch of Madame Cézanne (verso)

Paul Cezanne

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two sketches on aged paper, presented side by side. The left sketch depicts a seated nude figure posed on a block or pedestal, with their left leg bent and right leg extended, and their arms raised above their head. The figure is drawn in pencil and shaded with varying degrees of gray, with darker shading in the background. The right sketch appears to be a portrait of a woman with long hair, drawn in pencil with minimal shading. The woman's facial features are not clearly defined, and the drawing includes some illegible writing. The paper has a yellowed tone and shows signs of wear, including brown spots and torn edges.
