Sketchbook, page 35: Study of a Head

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch on a piece of paper. The paper is white and rectangular. It appears to be aged, with darker spots and discoloration throughout. A small number "35" is printed in the bottom-left corner. There are two pencil sketches on the page. One sketch is near the top of the page and shows the head and shoulders of a person wearing a hat. The hat has a wide brim and appears to be a bowler or derby style. The person's hair is pulled back. Below and to the right of the head sketch is a sketch of an arm and shoulder. The arm is bent at the elbow, and the hand is not visible. The sleeve appears to be long. The background of the image is the aged paper.
