The drawing has a writing in the lower right and says (P. Gauguin). The paper is in very good condition with slight stains on the back and front that appear to have been generated by time. Very nice drawing on thick paper for lovers and fans of Paul Gauguin.

IV.
Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (Paris, June 7, 1848-Atuona, Marquesas Islands, May 8, 1903), known as Paul Gauguin, was a recognized post-impressionist painter after his death. His experimental use of color and his synthetist style were key elements in his distinction from Impressionism. His work was of great influence on the French avant-garde and many other modern artists, such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Gauguin's art became popular after his death, partly due to the efforts of the art dealer Ambroise Vollard, who organized exhibitions of his work near the end of his career and posthumously in Paris. Many of his works were in the possession of the Russian collector Sergei Shchukin, as well as in other important collections.

Gauguin was an important figure of symbolism, participating as a painter, writer and sculptor of engravings and ceramics. His bold experimentation with color was what laid the foundations for the Synthetic style of modern art, while his expression of the inherent meaning of the subjects in his paintings, under the influence of cloisonism, was what paved the arrival of primitivism and the return to pastoral style (nature capture, landscapes). His work was also a great influence on the use of techniques such as wood engraving and xylography in the realization of works of art.
