Paul Gauguin

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white woodcut print with a thick border around it. The print depicts four people and a wild boar. The boar faces left and has its snout on a surface. A person in the center wearing a head covering and loose clothing slouches to the left. Another person with their back to the viewer, wearing a head covering and clothing with horizontal lines across it, faces right. The fourth person sits on the right with their head on their hands and elbows on their knees. The image also includes the stylized text, "Le Sourire". The print and artist's name are written along the bottom in cursive.
