Paul Cezanne

National Gallery of Art

In the sketch, there are three individuals depicted. The main person is seated, shown from the torso upward, leaning against a structure resembling a rail. They wear loose-fitting clothing and a cap. Two other figures wearing caps are depicted below. One person appears to be holding a newspaper, partially covering their face. The sketch uses minimal outlines without detailed features, and the background is plain.
