The Artist's Son c. 1887

"The Artist's Son" is a pencil drawing by Paul Cézanne, created around 1887. The work depicts a close-up view of a young boy's head, rendered in a simple and expressive style characteristic of Cézanne's drawings. The artist's signature, a simple "C" in the bottom right corner, adds to the authenticity of this intimate study. Cézanne, a pioneer of Post-Impressionism, frequently explored themes of family and everyday life in his work, making this drawing a poignant and insightful glimpse into his personal world.
