Sketchbook, page 61: Face, 3/4 view profile

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pencil drawing on white paper of a man's face in 3/4 view profile, looking to the right. The face is drawn with lines for the features, and minimal shading. The nose is straight and proportional to the rest of the face. The mouth is a small line, and the eyes are not fully detailed. The hairline is drawn with short, curved lines. The top of the shoulders and neck are sketched. Small smudges and marks are visible on the paper. A small number "19" is written in the bottom left corner.
