Sketchbook, page 83: Study of a Face, Legs

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Gray sketch paper with a pencil drawing. A partially completed sketch of a man's face on the left side. The face is drawn in greater detail with shading around the eye, nose and mouth. To the right, a rough sketch of legs with minimal detail. A small number "88" in the upper-left corner. The background of the paper is mostly blank. The overall drawing is simple and appears to be a study or practice exercise.
