Sketchbook, page 63: Figures in a Courtyard

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on paper of a courtyard scene. A large building with many windows and a tower dominates the background. The building has an awning over part of it and several arch-shaped doorways and windows. In the foreground, several people dressed in long clothing are standing and interacting, with one on the left wearing a hat adorned with feathers and another to their right with a cloak. A figure is visible in a window on the left side of the building. A lantern stands on the right side. The sketch is informal, with many lines visible.
