Café-concert, Georges Seurat , 1887-1888, Cleveland Museum of Art: Drawings

Café-concerts were popular places of entertainment for the middle classes in Paris during the late 1800s and usually featured singers or other forms of vaudeville entertainers. Eight drawings by Seurat showing café-concerts exist, some depicting known establishments. Cleveland's drawing has an innovative viewpoint, in which we peer through the bowler hats of male viewers listening to a female singer on stage. Seurat typically used a black crayon manufactured by the Conté company, and its waxy quality allowed him to exploit the texture of paper to startling effect. Size: Sheet: 31.4 x 23.6 cm (12 3/8 x 9 5/16 in.) Medium: Conté crayon heightened with white chalk

Female Nude, Seated, Three Quarter View from Front, William Mulready , 1859, Cleveland Museum of Art: Drawings

For Mulready, drawing was a lifelong preoccupation. These two sheets were drawn from models in the Royal Academy’s life school when the artist was 73. He was one of the Academy’s most devoted teachers, positioning the model for his students and then drawing alongside them. Closely observed and meticulously crafted, both drawings attest to Mulready’s consummate skill as a draftsman. The sensuality of the female nude and the weather-beaten face of the male model are as arresting today as they were in Victorian London. Size: Sheet: 49.2 x 34.1 cm (19 3/8 x 13 7/16 in.) Medium: black and red crayon
