Specialist note

This work will be included in the new critical catalogue of Paul Gauguin's works being prepared by the Wildenstein Institute.

This work relates to a group of drawings Gauguin executed during his time in Paris in late 1890 and early 1891, after returning from Pont-Aven and before his departure to Tahiti. This drawing is one of two that probably depicts Juliette Huet, a seamstress and Gauguin's mistress.
