Intermission at the ball 

"Intermission at the Ball" is a drawing by the renowned French Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne. Created sometime in the late 19th century, the work depicts a man and woman in a seemingly intimate moment. Cézanne's distinct style is evident in the piece, with his use of bold lines and cross-hatching creating a sense of volume and depth. The figures are depicted in a simplified, almost sculptural manner, reflecting Cézanne's fascination with form and structure. This drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into the artistic explorations of one of the most influential artists of the modern era.
