專家說明

This drawing will be included in the online catalogue raisonné of Paul Cézanne's works on paper, under the direction of Walter Feilchenfeldt, David Nash and Jayne Warman.

Throughout his life Cézanne executed many portraits, primarily of his family members and close friends. Most frequently portrayed was Hortense Fiquet, the mother of his child and the woman he would marry in 1886. Cézanne met Hortense, a tall nineteen-year-old artist's model with brown hair and large black eyes, in 1869 in Paris. Over the course of his career, he painted twenty-seven oil portraits of his wife in addition to numerous works on paper. All the portraits of Hortense depict her motionless and quiet; the present sheet shows a group of intimate drawings of her, each one with her head bowed down slightly as if leaning over a book or needlepoint.
