English tripod pedestal table in mahogany with tilting top carved with barbarian decor. Carved in the 19th century. Height: 0.66 cm; diameter: 89.5 cm. Many foreign painters, including the English, settled in Pont-Aven. Four caricatures of artists who stayed in Pont-Aven at the same time are shown. Caricature of Paul Gauguin, who liked to depict himself as a redskin because of his Peruvian ancestry. Profile of Madaleine, Emile Bernard's sister. Opposite him is the Dutch painter Meyer de Haan. And Yan Verkade, also Dutch. The presence of these four figures together on the tabletop dates the sculptures from 1891 to 1892. The feet are reminiscent of the sculptures on Paul Gauguin's return from Indonesia.
