Original – The Flageolet Player on the Cliff is an 1889 oil painting by French artist Paul Gauguin, located in the Indianapolis Museum of Art. It depicts a Breton couple on a narrow path precipitously overlooking the Atlantic

Reason

Another high quality scan of a painting by Gauguin. He could use a bit of love. Also compositionally and thematically quite different than Gauguin's Tahitian period.

Well the source used for the article says flageolet, but if it's supposed to be a symbol of Breton life it's a bombard, and he's a talabarder. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 16:35, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

• Support - very good detail, and it does have its own article.--Godot13 (talk) 08:34, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
