Aha oe Feii? (What, Are You Jealous?)

Paul Gauguin (French, 1848-1903)

Date

1894

Medium

Watercolor monotype from a glass matrix, with brush and white gouache, reddish-brown and black water color, on cream wove paper (an imitation Japanese vellum)

Two women rest on a Tahitian beach in warm pink and reddish-brown tones, made as a watercolor monotype rather than a painting. The soft, printed texture gives it a different feel from Gauguin's oil paintings while keeping his bold color sense.
