Young Girl with a Doll 1902

Paul Cézanne's *Young Girl with a Doll*, painted in 1902, depicts a young woman seated in a chair, cradling a doll in her lap. The composition is characteristic of Cézanne's later work, with its focus on simplified forms and bold color planes. The woman's figure is rendered in a blocky, almost sculptural manner, while the background is a symphony of muted blues and greens. This work is a fine example of Cézanne's exploration of color and form, and his influence on the development of modern art is undeniable.
