About the piece

Painted in 1889, this work by Paul Gauguin captures the family of his friend Émile Schuffenecker in a composition defined by bold color zones and flattened perspective. The warm orange of the mother's robe contrasts with the cool blues of the studio wall and window, showcasing Gauguin's developing Synthetist style during his time in Brittany and Paris.
