Although the authorship of this picture was once questioned, cleaning and reexamination have securely demonstrated that it is one of a group of landscapes that Gauguin painted during his first Tahitian sojourn, showing small figures and a hut amid tropical greenery. There are drawings related to the couple and the horse in this picture, attesting to the artist’s eye for local detail. This was the first painting by Gauguin to enter the Metropolitan’s collection, by donation in 1939.

About the artist
Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) was a French Post-Impressionist painter known for his bold colors, simplified forms, and expressive use of symbolism. Seeking new artistic inspiration, he spent significant periods in Tahiti and other parts of French Polynesia, where he created paintings inspired by local people, landscapes, and culture. His innovative approach to color and composition greatly influenced the development of modern art.
