Two Breton Figures and Studies of Two Geese; Man Wearing Hat [verso]

Paul Gauguin

National Gallery of Art

The image features two panels with simplistic sketches of figures. The left panel shows abstract representations of figures, with one appearing to show the back of a person wearing a hat. The right panel shows a more defined drawing of a person's head and shoulders, wearing a wide-brimmed hat with minimal facial features. The drawing style is sketchy and rough, focusing on outlines rather than details. The background of both panels is a plain, light-colored surface.
