Study of Apollo for Marsyas (recto); Face in Profile (verso)

Paul Baudry

Cleveland Museum of Art

A sketch of a nude man with short, curly hair, standing on a pedestal with his body angled to the right and his head turned to the right, pointing with his right hand. The man has his left arm bent at the elbow with the hand near his stomach. He has a cloth or fabric flowing behind him from his left shoulder or arm. The sketch is on aged paper with a few illegible signatures or notes. The paper appears to be yellowed and worn, and there are some darker spots and discolorations visible. The back of the paper, also shown, appears blank except for a darker smudge. The image shows two pages side by side; the right page is blank.
