A Person Holding an Umbrella and a Seated Man with a Hat and a Glass [verso]

Paul Gauguin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rough sketch with minimal detail. In the foreground, there is a profile of a person wearing a broad-brimmed hat, obscuring most facial features. The person appears to be seated with arms crossed, and there is a cone-shaped glass in front of them. In the background, there is a sketchy outline of a person standing with an umbrella and a faint head sketch at the top right. The background is an unadorned, blank canvas emphasizing the simplicity of the sketch.
