Chair and Dresser

Paul Cézanne, 1880/1883

This is a drawing of a wooden structure with circular elements. The sketch depicts a section of wooden panels or boards, with vertical and horizontal lines suggesting a constructed form. Two circular shapes are incorporated into the design, creating a sense of symmetry. The wood grain is indicated through shading and lines, and there are wavy lines across the shapes. The drawing is incomplete, filling only part of the page, with the top right displaying the number '103'. It is drawn in a sketchbook, as seen by the binding and blank space surrounding the detailed drawing.
