Paul Cézanne c. 1902

This charcoal drawing by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1902, depicts Paul Cézanne. Renoir, a leading Impressionist artist, captures Cézanne's likeness with a direct, expressive style. The use of bold strokes and shaded areas conveys the sitter's presence and character. The inscription "Voilà l'homme pour Degas" translates to "Here is the man for Degas," hinting at a connection between the two artists. Renoir's portrait provides a glimpse into the artistic circle of late 19th-century Paris.
