1922
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Judgment of Solomon is a 1922 by Jules Pascin, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy, chaotic scene with five figures tangled together. One person stands tall in the center, holding a baby, while others crowd around—some reaching up, others playing instruments. The lines are loose and sketchy, with lots of shading but no clear colors. The figures’ faces are simple, almost cartoonish, and their poses feel urgent. The baby’s calm face stands out against the swirling chaos around it. The artist seems to mix serious and playful styles here, which isn’t typical for the time. If you like this sketchy, expressive style, look up Jules Pascin next.
