Sketchbook, page 45: Woman's Face, 3/4 View

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of a woman's head and neck in profile. The head is drawn in pencil on a piece of aged paper with the nose pointing to the left. The woman's hair is pulled back with some strands on top. The neck and upper torso are sketched with minimal detail. The paper is off-white with darker edges and a few small marks throughout. A small number "45" is written in the bottom left corner. The sketch appears to be a study or preparatory drawing.
