Sheet of Studies with a Group of Four Figures to the Right (recto)

Honoré Daumier

Cleveland Museum of Art

A long, horizontal sketch on aged paper with rough, uneven edges. The sketch contains multiple figures drawn in black and gray pencil or charcoal. On the left, four figures stand around a table; two are wearing head coverings and long dark robes. To the right, six separate figures are sketched across the page. One figure stands alone beside a bed; another sits on a bench with their head down. A standing figure behind wears a long dress and head covering. Two people interact, one sitting and one leaning over them. On the far right, a figure sits on the ground with their head down. The background of the sketch features various gray shading and splotches.
