(Sketches of a Monkey, Man with Blowing Hair in Profile, and Heads)
1895–1899

A sketch on aged paper featuring a detailed drawing of a monkey hanging from a rope with its left hand, while the right hand and feet are free. To the left, there's a profile sketch of a human head with sharp features and wind-swept hair. Faint outlines of another face and a partial figure are visible on the right side, suggesting initial drawing stages or abandoned sketches.
