The Artist's Son Reading

Paul Cézanne, ca. 1887

The image shows a pencil sketch of a person's head and shoulders. The individual is depicted with their face on their forearm or a surface, indicating a reclining or sleeping position. The person's closed eyes and serene expression are detailed with shading and lines. Their hair is neatly styled with fine strokes for texture. The sketch features loosely drawn clothing, with sparse details. The background is blank, and the page number 63 is visible in the top right corner, with markings in the bottom right corner, suggesting it is part of a sketchbook.
