Honoré Daumier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two sketches side by side. The left sketch is of a man singing while playing a guitar. He is drawn with his mouth open, looking up and to the right, and has short hair. His left hand is on the neck of the guitar and his right hand is on the body. He is wearing a collared shirt and pants. The sketch is in pencil on a yellowed background. The right sketch is of a reclining woman leaning on her arm. She is drawn with her head down and her body curved, resting on her left arm. Her right arm is not visible. She appears to be wearing a long dress or robe. The sketch is also in pencil on a yellowed background. Both sketches are simple line drawings with minimal shading.
