Study of the Allegorical Figure Bellona in Rubens' "The Apotheosis of Henri IV"

Paul Cezanne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a reclining upper body with the torso, part of the legs, and one arm above the head. Facial features are suggested through light lines, and the hair appears styled. The person is unclothed without any visible jewelry or objects. The sketch is on a blank, light-colored page, possibly in a sketchbook, with the figure centered on the left side. The background is minimalistic to highlight the figure.
