About this work

This sketchbook page features two figures, likely bathers, drawn in brown ink. The figure on the left is seated, while the one on the right stands with their back turned. The page is filled with illegible writing and sketches, giving a sense of the artist's creative process. The loose, expressive lines of the drawing suggest a focus on capturing the essence of the figures rather than precise detail. The use of brown ink adds a sense of warmth and intimacy to the scene. For more works by Cezanne, Paul, explore the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
