About this work

This is a blank sheet of paper with a light, slightly yellowish tint. You can see faint smudges and tiny spots scattered across it, like old stains. In the bottom corners, there’s a small circular stamp that says “Cleveland Museum” and a handwritten number “173143.” The paper looks worn, like it’s been handled a lot over time. It’s actually the back side of a drawing—artists sometimes sketch on one side and leave the other blank. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
