About the piece

Painted in 1886, this work captures Paul Gauguin's early fascination with Japonisme and non-Western motifs. The composition artfully juxtaposes a classical plaster cast of a horse's head with a colorful Japanese doll and decorative fans, all rendered with the luminous, textured brushwork characteristic of his developing style.
