"Vieil homme au bâton" (Old Man with a Stick), created in 1888 by Paul Gauguin, is a portrait of a weathered, elderly man, capturing his weariness and age with a subtle touch of melancholy. The artwork is notable for its bold, expressive brushstrokes, typical of Gauguin's Post-Impressionist style, and its muted color palette that emphasizes the subject's solemnity. The painting is a testament to Gauguin's fascination with the simplicity and honesty of everyday life.
