About the piece

Painted in 1888 during his time in Pont-Aven, Paul Gauguin's work captures a rhythmic moment of local life. The girls are depicted in traditional white coifs and dark dresses, their movement set against the soft, flat planes of color that define the artist's transition into Symbolism and Cloisonnism.
