EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a delicate and intimate moment frozen in time. Taken on 7th February 1875, the portrait showcases the talent of renowned artist Paul Gauguin. Measuring just 5.2 x 4.1 cm, this small but powerful artwork is a testament to Gauguin's skill and attention to detail. The subject of the portrait is a child, their innocence and vulnerability beautifully portrayed through Gauguin's use of watercolor on paper laid down on an original business card. The child's identity remains unknown, but the inscription "Emil a son cousin Thaulow" suggests a personal connection between Gauguin and his young muse. Gauguin's mastery of color shines through in this piece as he delicately brings life to the image with vibrant hues. The softness of the watercolors adds depth and emotion to the child's expression, capturing their essence with remarkable precision. As one gazes upon this exquisite artwork, it becomes evident that Gauguin was not only an exceptional painter but also had a profound understanding of human emotions. This portrait serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced world, moments like these should be cherished – moments where we can pause and appreciate the beauty found within each individual. This photograph allows us to step back into history and witness both Gauguin's artistic brilliance and his ability to capture humanity at its most vulnerable state – that of childhood innocence.
