About the piece

Painted in 1899 during his second stay in Tahiti, 'The Month of Mary' exemplifies Paul Gauguin's Post-Impressionist style with its flattened perspective and bold use of color. The work depicts a woman in traditional dress amidst a stylized landscape, masterfully blending symbolic imagery with depictions of Polynesian life.
