EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Paul Gauguin's exquisite pastel, white chalk, and charcoal drawing titled "Breton woman in right profile". Created in 1886, this post-impressionist masterpiece measures 46.5x32 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Gauguin's attention to detail is evident in this large and highly finished study of a young Breton woman. The dedication on the lower right corner reads "A mr Newman souvenir affectueux" adding an intimate touch to the artwork. The inscription also reveals that this drawing served as inspiration for Gauguin's painting "Bretonnes causant" where the young woman at the far left takes center stage. The subject of this piece is a peasant woman wearing a traditional bonnet headdress, characteristic of Breton culture. Her half-length profile allows us to appreciate her delicate features and contemplate her inner thoughts. Gauguin's skillful use of various mediums brings depth and texture to the composition, capturing both the beauty and strength of his subject. As one explores this remarkable work by Gauguin, it becomes clear why he was considered one of the pioneers of synthetism - an art movement that sought to synthesize different elements into a harmonious whole. With his signature prominently displayed on the artwork, Gauguin leaves no doubt about his authorship. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail of this extraordinary drawing through their high-quality print reproduction. This
