Two Heads of Women is a 1892 graphite by Paul Cezanne, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image presents a sketchbook page featuring two pencil drawings of women's heads. The left drawing depicts a woman with her head tilted to the right, while the right drawing shows a woman with her head tilted to the left. Both drawings are rendered in a simple, yet expressive style. The sketches appear to be studies, with loose lines and minimal detail. The focus is on capturing the overall shape and contours of the women's faces, rather than creating a highly realistic portrait.

Paul Cézanne was born on January 19, 1839, in Aix-en-Provence, the son of a hatter turned wealthy banker.
