Harlequin

Juan Gris after Paul Cezanne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person in full body. The figure is standing with one leg slightly bent and one arm bent across the chest while the other hangs by their side. The person's face is partially detailed with an elongated shape, defined lips, and a prominent nose. The hair is abstractly depicted, and they wear a hat with a curved brim. The clothing consists of a fitted outfit with a diamond pattern and detailed sections on the sleeve. The figure seems to be holding or resting a long stick against the shoulder with one hand. The background includes lightly sketched abstract lines and shading, with no specific details provided regarding location or setting.
