Luc-Olivier Merson

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white drawing of a sphinx statue. The sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a woman. The woman's head is turned to her right. The sphinx has a headdress on its head. The sphinx's arms are resting on a rectangular platform. The sphinx's right hand is clutching fabric. The sphinx sits on a large rectangular base. There are tufts of grass in the foreground. To the right of the sphinx, there is a donkey grazing. Behind the donkey, there is a bundle of fabric on the ground. The background is a body of water and a dark sky. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner.
