Study of Heads is a 1899 by Paul-Albert Besnard, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In the painting, two women are shown in profile, facing right. They are depicted in a dark, shadowy space, with their faces and hair rendered in soft, gentle lines. The artist has used a range of dark tones to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, with the women's faces and hair standing out against the darker background. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the women are lost in thought. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists associated with the Impressionism movement.
