Sketchbook, page 51: Figure Study

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch on aged paper of a figure. The figure's body faces right; the head is not drawn. The figure wears a short tunic that ends at the knee. The right leg is mostly obscured by folds of fabric; the left leg is visible from the thigh to the knee. Three holes and a tear are at the top edge; the top appears to be a bound edge. The bottom-left corner contains the number 51. The image background is dark gray.
