About the piece
Painted during Paul Gauguin's first stay in Tahiti in 1891, this work is a quintessential example of his Synthetist style. The composition uses bold, flat areas of color and rhythmic outlines to depict two women on a beach, framed by the sweeping branches of a pandanus tree. It masterfully balances direct observation of Polynesian life with a highly decorative and symbolic approach to form.
