About the piece

Painted in 1892, this vibrant work by Paul Gauguin captures a bouquet of tropical flowers in a simple glass bottle. Set against a striking contrast of orange and deep purple, the composition features a mysterious, hooded 'idol' figure in the background, a hallmark of the artist's Tahitian period and his exploration of symbolic themes.
