Two Heads; Studies of Sheep [recto] 1884 - 1888

"Two Heads; Studies of Sheep [recto]" is a drawing by Paul Gauguin, created between 1884 and 1888. The work is comprised of two sides, one depicting the heads of two people, and the other featuring studies of sheep. The drawing showcases Gauguin's use of quick, expressive lines, characteristic of his artistic style. These studies likely served as preliminary sketches for larger compositions, and demonstrate the artist's meticulous observation of form and anatomy. This small-scale work exemplifies Gauguin's fascination with capturing the essence of his subjects.
