Hand and Shoulder of a Boy

Paul Cézanne, c. 1885

The image features a sketch of a partial figure, mainly showing the hands and part of the head. The body is mostly hidden, with a focus on the hands clasped near the face. The head is slightly tilted forward, with hair suggested by soft pencil strokes. Facial features are not detailed, providing an impressionistic representation. The sketch lacks defined clothing or surroundings, emphasizing the hands and head outline. The background is plain, with light shading around the figure's shoulders or back. The sketch is done in pencil on off-white paper, likely from a sketchbook.
