EDITORS COMMENTS
A Grazing Cow; Head of a Woman with Her Hand on Her Cheek" and "Head of a Man with His Hand on His Ear" [verso], created between 1884 and 1888. The sketches, executed in pen and brown ink and graphite on wove paper, showcase Gauguin's distinctive style and his profound connection to nature and the human form. In the first sketch, a cow grazes peacefully in a pastoral setting, its form rendered with a sense of calm and tranquility. The second sketch features two human heads, a woman with her hand on her cheek in a contemplative pose, and a man with his hand on his ear, perhaps deep in thought or lost in reflection. The heads are depicted in profile, adding to the sense of intimacy and introspection. Gauguin's use of pen and ink and graphite allows for intricate detail and expressive lines, resulting in a raw and emotive depiction of his subjects. These sketches are a testament to Gauguin's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a few deft strokes. These sketches are a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential artists of the 19th century. They are a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire us with its beauty and depth." These sketches are currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and are a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly Post-Impressionism and Symbolism. Whether you're a seasoned art collector or a curious newcomer, these sketches are sure to leave a lasting impression.
