Little Breton Boy; A Pig and a Washerwoman [recto]

Paul Gauguin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two sections on the same canvas. On the left side, a partial view of a person is depicted, facing forward in a wide-brimmed hat. The person's facial features are minimal, with faint lines indicating eyes. The right side displays rough sketches in black ink, including an animal resembling a horse, two figures in varying positions, and a simple shape suggesting an object or another animal. The background is plain with the texture of the paper visible, and no specific objects or jewelry are present in the sketches.
