Gauguin Drawings from the Armand Hammer Collection

This is an image of two separate sketches side by side. On the left, there is a sketch of a monkey's head and a rough outline of a house with a chimney. On the right, there is a more detailed drawing of a figure possibly sitting, with their head slightly ducked and hands positioned in front, depicted with a colored hat and clothes. The drawing on the right is rendered in a sketchy, loose style with some colored accents.
Paul Gauguin, Monkey and Cottage; Little Breton Boy [recto], 1886, graphite and crayon on wove paper, The Armand Hammer Collection, 1991.217.32.a
