A Man seen from Behind 1880 - 1883

This pencil sketch, "A Man seen from Behind," is a study by the post-impressionist artist Paul Cézanne, dating from 1880-1883. The work is notable for its simplified forms and gestural lines, characteristics of Cézanne's style. While the drawing is unfinished, the artist’s use of line and shading to capture the human form, seen from behind, is evident in the piece. Cézanne’s sketches like this one are a testament to his dedicated exploration of form and his pursuit of a new way to depict the world.
