Painted during Paul Gauguin's first stay in Tahiti in 1892, "Aha oe feii? (What! Are You Jealous?)" depicts two Tahitian women resting on a beach, rendered in the flattened forms and bold, non-naturalistic color that defined Gauguin's mature Symbolist style. Gauguin gave the painting a Tahitian title and later described its subject in his own writings, part of his broader project of presenting Polynesian life through a deliberately imagined, idealized lens shaped by his own artistic preoccupations. The painting, now in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, is considered a major work of Gauguin's first Tahitian period.
