About the piece
Created circa 1888, this striking portrait by Paul Gauguin captures a contemplative sitter in profile. The work exemplifies Gauguin's transition toward Synthetism, utilizing flattened forms and a vibrant, non-naturalistic color palette of yellows and blues that creates a modern and compelling visual presence.
