Locusts and Ants: A Memory of Martinique (Les cigales et les fourmis: Souvenir de la Martinique)

Paul Gauguin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of people standing and seated. The individuals have discernible features typical of a sketch or print, with simplistic facial details. They wear long dresses or garments and appear to be carrying baskets on their heads. The background includes a tree, mountains or hills, and a body of water. The scene is rendered in monochrome and includes the artist's name, Paul Gauguin, and the title "Les Cigales et la fourmie."
