Études de têtes c. 1886 - 1887

"Études de têtes" is a pencil drawing by Paul Cézanne created around 1886-1887. This artwork is considered a study or an "étude" for a larger composition and showcases Cézanne's mastery of form and structure. The drawing features two heads rendered in a simplified, yet expressive manner, characteristic of Cézanne's later style. His use of hatching and cross-hatching lends a sense of volume and depth to the figures, while the subtle shading creates a sense of light and shadow. This work is a testament to Cézanne's exploration of the human form and his influence on subsequent generations of artists.
