Madame Cezanne

Paul Cezanne

National Gallery of Art

The sketch depicts a person's head and upper shoulder area. The person's head is resting sideways, angled slightly upward. The facial features are delicately sketched with emphasis on the eyes looking slightly upwards, and a serene expression is depicted. The hair is short and softly flows backward. The clothing is indicated by the outline of a collar around the neck area. The background is plain, consisting of light cream-colored paper, highlighting the pencil work.
