Paul Gauguin's "Emile Gauguin (1874–1955), the artist's son" is a marble sculpture created between 1877 and 1878. The sculpture depicts the artist's son, Emile, as a young boy with a delicate and refined expression. Gauguin, known for his vibrant Post-Impressionist paintings, demonstrates his talent in three dimensions with this realistic portrayal, showcasing the smooth surface of the marble and the subtle detailing of the boy's features.
