Bedpost [verso]

Paul Cezanne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows swirling and curved lines forming abstract shapes resembling architectural elements. There is a vertical structure resembling a pillar with a scroll-like capital. The lines are fluid and sketch-like with hints of watercolor in blue and green. The overall composition evokes an incomplete architectural sketch blending column form with artistic expression.
