About the piece

Painted in 1880, this early work by Paul Gauguin demonstrates his mastery of texture and light during his Impressionist period. The composition centers on a heavy, intricately carved wooden tankard paired with a slender metal pitcher, utilizing a palette of warm ochres, muted greens, and soft greys to create a grounded, atmospheric presence.
