Carmen

Pierre Puvis de Chavannes

Cleveland Museum of Art

A nude woman drawn in charcoal on tan paper with a rough, uneven edge. The woman's body faces forward and slightly right; her head faces forward. Her right arm hangs down by her side. Her left arm is bent at the elbow, and her hand is raised near her shoulder, with two fingers extended upward. The woman has short dark hair. The background behind the woman is shaded. There are scribbled notes in the upper-right corner reading "Carmen 67" and another note below it that is illegible. The initials "P.P.C." are printed near the bottom-right corner of the paper.
