Sketch of Madame Cézanne (verso)

Paul Cezanne

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a pencil sketch on a piece of aged paper. The sketch features a woman in profile view facing left. The woman's face, hair, neck and chest are sketched in light pencil and barely visible. A darker graphite sketch of the woman's torso and shoulder fills most of the paper. The woman appears to be wearing a shirt or dress with a high collar that frames her face. The background of the paper has various scribbles and marks, with some illegible writing on the left side. The paper's edges are rough and worn, with visible signs of aging, including brown discoloration and tears.
