Address List; Manuscript Page [recto]

Paul Gauguin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of handwritten French text on paper. It features two pages side-by-side, both filled with cursive handwriting. The page on the left includes a list of names and addresses. The handwriting on this page is lighter and less dense than the one on the right. On the right page, there is a more extensive block of text titled "Note synoptique," exploring the relationship between painting and other sensory experiences, particularly sound, highlighted by intricate cursive. Both pages are bordered by a thin frame. The overall tone of the image suggests an aged document.
