About the piece
Painted in 1889, this work by Paul Gauguin exemplifies his Synthetist style, characterized by bold, flat areas of color and rhythmic outlines. The warm, pink-toned sand provides a striking contrast to the cool blues of the water, while the figures in traditional costume ground the experimental, emotive palette in the daily life of Brittany.
