Sketchbook, page 27: Detail Study for " On a Terrace" and Landscape Study

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch on aged, off-white paper. A detailed pencil drawing depicts a man wearing a large-brimmed hat with his head tilted down and to the left. His facial features are obscured. The man wears a collared, buttoned jacket. He appears to be seated. Beneath the man is a smaller, less detailed landscape drawing. The background of the paper is off-white with darker areas suggesting shadows or stains. A small number "27" is handwritten vertically in the bottom-left corner. The drawings are rendered in pencil.
