About this work

This drawing shows a man and a boy, along with some jugs and vases. The man has a moustache and the boy is wearing a hat. It's interesting that Gauguin used simple graphite and crayon to create this work, which was likely a study for a larger piece. He used simple lines and shading to create depth, a technique similar to what you'd see if you looked up the work of artist: Gauguin, Paul.
