幼いエミール・ゴーギャン、襟付きシャツを着て
c. 1875-1876
Long before Paul Gauguin traded his stockbroker life for the vibrant jungles of Tahiti, he captured this tender moment of his young son, Émile. The sketch, done with quick, textured strokes on rough paper, shows the toddler's round face and serious expression, dressed in a simple collared shirt. It's a poignant reminder of the family life Gauguin eventually left behind to become a pioneer of the Symbolist movement, offering a rare glimpse into the artist's personal world before his famous escape.
