Michel Dorigny

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two sketches on aged paper. The left sketch depicts a group of people sitting or standing around a platform or stage; one person on the platform gestures with their arm towards another person; a dog sits on the platform. The background includes a draped curtain and columns. The right sketch shows a man on his knees reaching up to a woman with wings; she has one arm outstretched towards him; she wears a long dress. The background of the right sketch appears to be blank. The overall style is detailed and realistic with shading. The sketches are separated by a white space. The paper appears to have discoloration and stains.
