About the piece

Painted in 1899, this iconic work by Paul Gauguin captures two Tahitian women with a monumental and dignified presence. The composition is celebrated for its harmonious use of bold, saturated colors and flat decorative patterns, hallmarks of Gauguin's influential Synthetist style during his second stay in Tahiti.
