Sketches (verso)

Gustave Doré

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a gray, arched piece of paper with a sketch on it. The paper is positioned with the top curved side facing upwards. The paper's surface appears worn and damaged, with areas of discoloration and peeling. There are several sketches on the paper, including a portrait of a woman with long hair, drawn in pencil. The woman's head is tilted slightly to her right. The sketches appear to be a rough outline, with faint lines and minimal detail. In the bottom-left corner of the paper, there is a signature that reads "Charles Ricketson Doré" and a date "Nov. 1884". The background behind the paper is a solid cream color.
