More about this artwork

Created in the 1870s, "Profile Bust of a Man (verso)" by Paul Gauguin is a delicate and evocative sketch that captures the essence of the artist's early drawings. The artwork displays a profile view of a man, looking to the left with subtle detailing and soft strokes. The focus on the contours of his face, from the gentle slope of his nose to the deep set of his eye and the line of his jaw, suggests a quiet introspection or a moment of contemplation.The economy of line and the unfinished nature of the sketch invite viewers to fill in the blanks, making it a deeply personal interaction between the artwork and the observer. The use of light pencil on a time-toned paper emphasizes the ephemeral quality of the moment captured by Gauguin, a pioneer not just in color but also in the emotional depth of his subjects.This piece is unique in its simplicity and stands as a testament to Gauguin’s skill in portraying human characteristics with minimal yet meaningful strokes. The artwork serves as a captivating insight into the early creative process of an artist who would later be known for his bold use of color and explorative compositions in the Post-Impressionist movement.

Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin was a French Post-Impressionist artist. Unappreciated until after his death, Gauguin is now recognized for his experimental use of color and Synthetist style that were distinct from Impressionism. Toward the end of his life, he spent ten years in French Polynesia. The paintings from this time depict people or landscapes from that region.
