Sketchbook, page 12: Multiple Figures

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image features a sketch on aged, off-white paper with darker edges. Four human figure sketches are drawn in pencil. The largest sketch is a head and shoulders portrait of a man with short hair, located at the top-left. Behind and to the right, a partial sketch of another figure's head and shoulders is visible. On the bottom half, a full-body sketch of a man stands to the right, with a partial sketch of another figure to his left, sitting and leaning on an object. The edges of the paper are darkened and have small holes along the top.
