Sheet of Sketches

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

The image contains a collection of sketches portraying various parts and poses of the human body, focusing mainly on the head and shoulders. The drawings depict people in different positions, including a group embracing each other. Some sketches show detailed facial features and various expressions. The hair styles range from short cuts to long, flowing hair with loose outlines. Clothing is lightly sketched, indicating dresses, robes, and jackets. There is no jewelry depicted. The figures are sometimes holding each other, and the artist's signature "Steinlen" appears at the bottom right corner. The background is plain, emphasizing the intricacies of the sketched figures.
