Confidences, from A New Sentimental Education

Charles Maurin

Cleveland Museum of Art

Monochromatic drawing of a man and woman kissing. The woman sits on the left, nude from the waist up, facing right. Her body is angled slightly away from the viewer. She has dark shoulder-length hair with a white bow on top. The man is on the right, leaning over her. He wears a collared shirt with vertical stripes and has dark hair. His face is obscured. In the background on the left is a shelf holding an object and a book. The wall behind has a patterned wallpaper. The drawing has a sepia tone and is signed in the bottom-left corner.
