Sketchbook, page 96: Study of a Face, ears

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person's head and two ear studies. The person's head is drawn in pencil, with their head tilted down and to the left. Only the top half of the person's body is drawn. The person appears to be wearing a collared shirt. Two ear studies are drawn below the head, one above the other. The ears are drawn from different angles. The paper the sketch is drawn on is white and appears to be aged, with some darker spots and a rough texture. There are three small holes punched along the top edge of the paper.
