The Negro Scipion is an early painting by Paul Cézanne. The work may be a fragment of a larger composition, or it may be a preparatory study for another work.^[1] Scipion was reportedly a frequent model at the Académie Suisse, which Cézanne attended after his arrival in Paris.^[1] Émile Zola gave the painting to Claude Monet, and it remained in the possession of the Monet family until 1950.^[2] The French art critic Louis Vauxcelles described it as a "striking masterpiece" and called it "worthy of Delacroix."^[1]
