Study of Puget's "Milo of Crotona"

Paul Cezanne

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a person lying on their back. The person is drawn horizontally across the canvas, their body in a relaxed pose with arms by their side. The face has minimal detail, with a suggestion of the nose and closed eyes, and long hair flowing behind the head. The person appears unclothed with emphasis on muscular details depicted with soft, rounded lines. The background is blank, drawing focus on the figure.
