About the piece
Painted in 1890, this striking portrait of Louis Le Ray (known as Mr. Loulou) exemplifies Paul Gauguin's Synthetist style. The work features bold, flat areas of color and heavy outlines, with the young subject seated against a decorative backdrop of stylized flowers and a lush green and orange landscape.
