Sheet of Studies: Seated Man, Head of a Dog, Seated Woman

Claude-Joseph Vernet

Cleveland Museum of Art

A sketch on aged paper features two seated figures and a dog's head. On the left, a man sits on a chair, wearing what appears to be 18th-century attire, including a cap and long coat. His right leg is bent and rests on a stool, while his left leg is bent at the knee with the foot flat on the ground. To the right, a woman sits with her hands in her lap, wearing a long dress and a head covering. Above the woman, a simple sketch of a dog's head is drawn. The background of the sketch is the aged paper itself.
