Two Heads

Paul Cezanne

National Gallery of Art

The image features a sketch of two individuals viewed primarily from their shoulders up. The person on the left is depicted in a profile position with slight chin lowered and one visible eye. They appear to have short hair. The individual on the right is also shown in profile with a detailed facial structure, including outlined nose and lips. This person has wavy hair falling slightly over their forehead. Both individuals are drawn in a minimalist style using careful pencil strokes. No clothing details or jewelry are included, and both figures appear to be wearing some form of garment. The background is plain, emphasizing the focus on the sketches of the two individuals.
