Two Heads

Paul Cezanne

National Gallery of Art

The image consists of two pencil sketches on paper, each focusing on a head in profile. The larger sketch on the right shows a head tilted upward, emphasizing facial features like the nose, lips, and chin, as well as short textured hair. The smaller sketch on the left depicts a head leaning slightly backward, with detailed contours of the forehead, hairline, and short textured hair falling forward. The background is an off-white page with no additional elements present besides the faint pencil marks and the edge of the page. No jewelry or objects are visible in the sketches.
