Sculpted and painted wood, 32 x 18 cm.
Initials « FH » engraved in the bottom right.
Private collection of a « fan » of Gauguin who absolutely wants to stay anonymous!
We can find a reproduction of this sculpture in the painting entitled « Autoportrait de François Hippolyte ». The general shape of this sculpture recalls the movement of a fan which was widely used at the time.
… From a truly fake story by Gaya…
