About the piece
Painted during Paul Gauguin's first stay in Tahiti in 1892, this work captures a casual moment between two women resting on a bright yellow floor. The composition exemplifies his Post-Impressionist style, using bold, flat areas of color and rhythmic patterns to evoke the atmosphere of the South Pacific.
