A Man seen from Behind

Paul Cezanne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows light pencil lines and curves forming an abstract composition. Several short, darker lines cluster to the left resembling a small seated figure. Intersecting lines and curves near the center suggest angular structures. To the right, a faintly sketched arc could be seen. The drawing creates open space for interpretation, inviting connections to familiar shapes while remaining abstract.
