Sketchbook, page 98: Study of Figures

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on paper of four human figures in various poses. The figure on the left is large, faceless, and turned slightly to the right, with their right arm possibly holding an object. To the right, a smaller figure sits at a table. Behind them, two standing figures are partially visible. The paper appears aged, with darker edges and visible staple holes along the left. The sketch is by Ernest Meissonier and titled "Sketchbook, page 98: Study of Figures".
