Browsing through a book that I've had for decades and haven't opened for decades, I came across these. The first drawing is by Seurat and the second by Cezanne, fabulous!

The Cecilia Beaux painting reminds me very much of John Singer Sargent's work - the drawings shown: well, they confer a new meaning to the term "mind-boggling"; they're more strictly representational than I like in a work, to the extent of being even a bit obsessive (some of them, not all, of course), but really they're beyond sensible criticism ... what could you say to criticize them, without making it very clear those skills are beyond one?
Is the hairy gentleman the cellist Mischa Maisky, do we know? There's a strong resemblance, if not.
A very comfortable-looking cat in the Rivo portrait; I'd not encountered her work before; the value of this thread is the introduction to previously undiscovered artists; and the reminder that there's an awful lot of us out there - to counterbalance some of the hideous representations of human behaviour we've all seen over the last week.
