Paul Gauguin

Yellow image of a man and a woman sitting; woman crying with head on her hand in her lap and the man beside her on her left. The man on the left is balding with thinning hair on the top of his head and a receding hairline; he has facial hair; is wearing a tie and jacket. The woman on the right has curly hair, rests her head on her right hand and her arm is across her body; she is wearing a long dress; she appears to be crying. There is a tree on the top right with a woman's head carved into it; and a fence on the top left. The background is yellow and there is a signature on the bottom right.
