Paul Cezanne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a man's head and part of his shoulders, positioned sideways on the page. The head is depicted lying on its right side with the face oriented towards the viewer. The man has a mustache, beard, and sparse hair on the top of his head. His eyes are open and facing forward. The drawing is sketched using pencil, providing a soft, textured appearance to the hair and facial features. There is no visible clothing, jewelry, or objects held in his hands. The background consists of a blank page, emphasizing the facial drawing.
