Two Figures and a Bench; Three Studies of Men's Heads and One of a Hand [recto]

Paul Gauguin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two pages with pencil sketches. The left page features an abstract human figure with indistinct lines. The sketches on the right page include a head with partial facial features and a textured cap, a figure with a large nose and slicked-back hair, and a hand holding a paper or card. Light pencil notes, a name, and an address are visible above the sketches. The background is plain paper, and the pages are framed within a simple border.
