Crouching Monkey and Man's Head; Bones and Muscles [verso]

Paul Gauguin

National Gallery of Art

The image contains two sections with abstract line drawings on a beige background. On the left, there is a figure composed of curved lines that resemble a crouching person, with additional rough sketches near it. The phrase "c'est un cul de jatte" is written below the central figure. On the right, the drawing features vertical and slightly curved lines intersected by round and oval shapes, resembling elongated figures or tall objects. These compositions suggest movement and abstract representation of human and natural forms through simple linework.
