About the piece

Painted in 1892 during his first stay in Tahiti, Haere Pape (She Goes to the Water) showcases Paul Gauguin's signature Post-Impressionist style. The composition uses a bold, non-naturalistic palette of pinks, blues, and ochres to depict a serene moment of daily life on the island, featuring a lone figure and a drinking dog reflected in the shimmering water.
