About the piece

Painted in 1888, this work exemplifies Paul Gauguin's developing 'Cloisonnist' style, characterized by bold outlines and flat areas of color. The scene playfully blends traditional still life elements—pears, apples, and blue goblets—with the animated presence of three small puppies gathered around a central bowl.
