Sketches of Children, a Woman, and Profiles (recto), Sketches of Horses and Child (verso) 1891 - 1893

"Sketches of Children, a Woman, and Profiles (recto), Sketches of Horses and Child (verso)" is a work on paper by Paul Gauguin, created between 1891 and 1893. The artwork features several sketches on both sides of the paper, including portraits of children, a woman, and profiles. The sketches are characterized by Gauguin's distinctive style, which combines elements of Impressionism and Symbolism. The use of bold colors and expressive lines contributes to the sense of immediacy and informality. This piece, now housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, offers insight into Gauguin's artistic process and his fascination with the human form.
