About the piece

Painted during Paul Gauguin's first stay in Tahiti in 1891, this work exemplifies his distinctive Synthetist style. The composition features bold areas of flat color and expressive contours, capturing the fisherwomen in a moment of tranquil industry against a lush, tropical backdrop. The heavy canvas texture visible in the original oil painting adds a grounded, authentic character to the print.
