Varkenshoeder, staande vrouw, dieren verkleed als mensen, Narcissus, een landschap en twee figuren in een bed Possibly 1864 - 1866

This sheet of drawings, created by Firmin Gillot between 1864 and 1866, showcases a variety of subjects and styles typical of the artist's work. The sheet contains several individual sketches, each depicting a different scene: a landscape, a figure in a long robe, a group of people dressed as animals, a reclining nude, and a couple in bed. The sheet reflects Gillot's fascination with the human condition, his keen observational skills, and his penchant for depicting both the humorous and the poignant aspects of life. The sheet's intimate size, 327 mm by 468 mm, suggests it was likely a private study or a preparatory work for a larger project. The use of pen and ink allows for a fluidity of line, which enhances the sense of spontaneity and immediacy in the sketches.
